Hi, This is regarding sending router advertisement on the receipt of router solicitation. When an icmp message of type router solicitation is received in the icmp6_input(). the function calls nd6_rs_input(). This function inturn calls nd6_cach_lladdr(). But no where in the above code rtadv related functions are called. AS all know rtadv is implemented as a daemon. But this daemon sends router advertisements periodically. If a host wants address prefixes immediately it sends router solicitaion to the router. But in the above case no router advertisement related things are called immediately.( the rfc 2462 mentions that if a host needs prefixes immmediately it has to send router soliciations). Kindly mail if iam right. If iam wrong can anybody mail the full sequence of events in freebsd for the above case. regards ravi prasad __________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape Webmail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
