I'd normally change history in the original KAME repository: http://www.kame.net/dev/cvsweb2.cgi/kame/kame/sys/netinet6/nd6.h http://www.kame.net/dev/cvsweb2.cgi/kame/kame/sys/netinet6/nd6.c (search for "ND6_LLINFO_WAITDELETE") It looks like it was me who made this change but I don't remember details:-) and I don't have time to look into it closer right now. If the rationale is still not clear from the logs and specific code diffs please ask again. --- JINMEI, Tatuya Internet Systems Consortium, Inc.
