Hi,
The RFC 4861 (ND) states the following for the icmpv6 redirect:
Source Address
MUST be the link-local address assigned to the
interface from which this message is sent.
This combined with the following in icmp6_redirect_input ensures that
if a static default route was installed with non-LLA scoped gw the
redirect sent by the router will go waste.
if (bcmp(&src6, gw6, sizeof(struct in6_addr)) != 0) {
2354 nd6log((LOG_ERR,
2355 "ICMP6 redirect rejected; "
2356 "not equal to gw-for-src=%s (must be same): "
2357 "%s\n",
2358 ip6_sprintf(ip6buf, gw6),
2359 icmp6_redirect_diag(&src6, &reddst6,
&redtgt6)));
2360 RTFREE_LOCKED(rt);
2361 goto bad;
2362 }
Does it mean that if we want to be concerned with redirects we should
ensure only LLA is given as the gw in the indirect routes?
Best,
Prabhakar
