https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=233283 --- Comment #11 from peos42 <peo_s@incedo.org> --- (In reply to Conrad Meyer from comment #8) RFC 4861 say: --snip-- If the source address of the packet prompting the solicitation is the same as one of the addresses assigned to the outgoing interface, that address SHOULD be placed in the IP Source Address of the outgoing solicitation. Otherwise, any one of the addresses assigned to the interface should be used. --snip-- So it IS permissible for another address to appear here. RFC 5942 that updates RFC 4861 seems to not change this. This is probably why it works on Linux, windows, DragonflyBSD etc. I guess they have seen this as the statement is quite clear. /Peo -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
