--K3Y3NTg/qyuIFs24 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello FreeBSD network folks, On one of the FreeBSD machines we maintain at Dispuut Interlink[1], we get a lot of messages like these: | nd6_lookup: failed to add route for a neighbor(<ipv6-addr>), errno=3D17 The addresses mentioned in the messages are all addresses of endpoint addresses of point-to-point devices. The nd6_lookup() call in the function nd6_output() is responsible for it. If you look through nd6_output(), you see that a couple of lines below the nd6_lookup() call it doesn't really care when dealing with IFF_POINTOPOINT devices. It would be really useful to drop the messages when dealing with point to point devices, so I write a patch[2] for nd6_lookup() to make it print the message when not dealing with IFF_POINTOPOINT devices. Should I open a PR for this patch? Yours, --=20 Ed Schouten <ed@fxq.nl> WWW: http://g-rave.nl/ [1] http://www.il.fontys.nl/ [2] http://g-rave.nl/junk/freebsd-nd6_lookup-spam.diff --K3Y3NTg/qyuIFs24 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFEXNyN52SDGA2eCwURAn6SAJ9aSvgMweSu75RNo2Aex1eDKpXZYwCffL+5 6YlIbpxreDPyxehLWpkpjlg= =gk6y -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --K3Y3NTg/qyuIFs24--
