Hi,

any chance this can be moved forward ?

I have tested a server on Windows 10 and Linux (Various)
and it all appears to work ok.

The question below appears to be an outstanding issue.

Thanks

Some ICMPv6 packets can't be dropped otherwise the entire

Such packets are described in RFC4890, sec. 4.4.1.

Improve the mroute packet parsing routine in order to detect
these specific packets types and thus avoid PF to drop them.

This way, when PF is enabled, the user won't need to whitelist
any specific multicats IPv6 address. PF will just work as
expected.

I think we should still drop tehse if they do not target the local
network. Otherwise you can just send all information hidden in these
packet types.

You mean dropping packets not a having link-local address as destination
(for unicasts)?
