Hi,
after trying the ipv6 code of the plain linux kernel,
I found a problem of my local ethernet switch (cheap one).
The neighbor solicitation is based on multicast ethernet
packets (33:33:xx:xx:xx:xx), but my switch doesn't seem
to handle such packets properly. Experiments with
plain ipv4 udp packets showed that the switch forwards
packets to 00: and to broadcast ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff correctly,
but in most cases drops packets to addresses with other
prefixes, e.g. 33:
Has anyone else experienced such problems?
regards
Hadmut
