HARP's 'ATM' command core dumps when you try to pack an IPv6 address into the IPv4 command line option. There are also problems with IPv4 and the ILMI daemon, etc. The developers of HARP (bless them) are no longer funded by DARPA to continue work on the HARP platform, so it is unlikely that HARP will be maintained or fixed by them. Many organizations now testing or using IPv6 over WANs need ATM PVC support, since ATM is used on the WAN side for virtual links. At least, it would be nice to have the IPv6 ATM PVC support. There is probably not that much call for IPv6 ILMI, CLIP, support, etc. >How-To-Repeat: Attempt to execute a: atm add pvc hfa0 0 300 aal5 llc/snap ip ni1 4FFE:1800:1FE:2::2 to tell the kernel that the IPv6 host 4FFE:1800:1FE:2::2 is on the far end of ATM PVC 0,300. This results in a Segmentation Fault, with an 'atm.core' file dump. >Fix: change the kernel code (if needed) and the userland binaries code for HARP? >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
