Hello FreeBSD network folks, On one of the FreeBSD machines we maintain at Dispuut Interlink[1], we get a lot of messages like these:
| nd6_lookup: failed to add route for a neighbor(<ipv6-addr>), errno=17 The addresses mentioned in the messages are all addresses of endpoint addresses of point-to-point devices. The nd6_lookup() call in the function nd6_output() is responsible for it. If you look through nd6_output(), you see that a couple of lines below the nd6_lookup() call it doesn't really care when dealing with IFF_POINTOPOINT devices. It would be really useful to drop the messages when dealing with point to point devices, so I write a patch[2] for nd6_lookup() to make it print the message when not dealing with IFF_POINTOPOINT devices. Should I open a PR for this patch? Yours, -- Ed Schouten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> WWW: http://g-rave.nl/ [1] http://www.il.fontys.nl/ [2] http://g-rave.nl/junk/freebsd-nd6_lookup-spam.diff
