Hi
please oblige and review the fix below to address the issue in JDK-8021372:
NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces() returns duplicate hardware address
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~msheppar/8021372/webrev/
the handling of the Ipv6IfIndex was suspect when setting the
interface index and when retrieving the mac address using the index.
in the getAdpaters function, the conditaionalstatement could be rolled
into one.
But, as there was a spurious IPv4 comment, I structured it as an if
else. statement.
It should be noted that IfIndex and the Ipv6IfIndex can be zero, which
implies that the
IPv4 or IPv6 interface is not available. This may be at odds with the
setting of a default index to 0 in the Java NetworkInterface abstraction,
where a defaultIndex of zero is used.
JPRTs have been run and show no side effects.
regards
Mark
