Asking for compatibility is reasonable but the existing packet leaking behavior is incorrect. After reviewing the previous thread on this topic back in July, I see that Henri Hennebert requested this feature for IPv6. I intend to introduce a sysctl variable to control whether loopback route should be installed for the local end point. By default the old behavior maintained. -- Qing _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
