--- Comment #15 from Paige Thompson <paige@paige.bio> ---
Summary of things so far:=20

net.inet6.ip6.source_address_validation does not appear to be working corre=
ctly
when its set to 1 (default.) Turning it off allows me to use the desired
configuration, but it feels wrong doesn't it? I'd like to understand this a=
 bit
better still.=20

net.inet.ip.source_address_validation (ipv4) doesn't have this problem, you=
 can
substitute 192.0.0.0/31 and 192.0.0.1/31 for fcff::a/64 and fcff::b/64 to t=
est
IPv4, but I've demonstrated that before in the work log.=20

IPv6 doesn't really have this problem on other interfaces types or a real
Ethernet device, it seems specific to epair but I'm not firm on that.

I net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter to 1 and tested the identical configurati=
on
using VRF on Linux and it works.=20

-- net.inet6.ip6.source_address_validation  I thought this applied to
forwarding, evidently forwarding doesn't apply to this you can turn
net.inet6.ip6.forwarding on or off and it doesn't affect this (sorry I almo=
st
said this is called next-hop I may have earlier, I think this is commonly
referred to as 'on-link')=20=20

I think the right thing to do here though is figure out why source validati=
on
is  apparently not working, I'll start looking into it next.
