Hi,
I found there are serious regressions in IPv6 routing on 8.x (and
7.1R and later) after ARP/NDP changes in the last December. What I
noticed are the following:
1) Scope violation in a simple global unicast address:
# ifconfig em0 inet6 2001:db8:1::1 prefixlen 64
# ping6 2001:db8:1::1
PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) 2001:db8:1::1 --> 2001:db8:1::1
16 bytes from ::1, icmp_seq=0 hlim=64 time=0.195 ms
--> 2001:db8:1::1 has a routing entry with lo0, but ::1 should not be
used in the reply packet. On 7.x, 2001:db8:1::1 is used as
expected.
2) Issue of subnet-router anycast address with a global address on
another I/F:
box-1# ifconfig em0 inet6 2001:db8:1::1 prefixlen 64
box-1# ifconfig em0 inet6 2001:db8:1:: prefixlen 64 anycast
box-2# ifconfig re0 inet6 2001:db8:1::6 prefixlen 64
box-2# ping6 2001:db8:1::
PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) 2001:db8:1::6 --> 2001:db8:1::
16 bytes from 2001:db8:1::1, icmp_seq=0 hlim=64 time=0.439 ms
^C
box-1# ifconfig em0 inet6 2001:db8:1::1 prefixlen 64 -alias
box-1# ifconfig em1 inet6 2001:db8:2::1 prefixlen 64
box-2# ping6 2001:db8:1::
PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) 2001:db8:1::6 --> 2001:db8:1::
16 bytes from fe80::213:a9ff:feff:63e6%re0, icmp_seq=0 hlim=64 time=0.405 ms
^C
--> The em0 and re0 are on the same link with each other. In 7.x,
replies are from 2001:db8:2::1, not fe80::/64.
3) Manually-configured subnet routes disapper on receiving RA:
box-1# ifconfig em0 inet6 2001:db8:1::1 prefixlen 64
box-1# ifconfig em1 inet6 2001:db8:2::1 prefixlen 64
box-1# netstat -nrf inet6 | grep ^2001:db8
2001:db8:1::/64 link#1 U em0
2001:db8:1::1 link#5 UHS lo0
2001:db8:2::/64 link#6 U em1
2001:db8:2::1 link#5 UHS lo0
box-1# sysctl net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv=1
box-1# rtsol em0
box-1# netstat -nrf inet6 | grep ^2001:db8
2001:db8:1::1 link#5 UHS lo0
2001:db8:2::1 link#5 UHS lo0
--> This symptom occurs on 7.1R and later, including 8.x and
9-current, not 7.0R. Even by doing a manual configuration, the
routes on the RA-receiving I/F can not be added.
I am very concerned that these bugs would disappoint IPv6 users in
production environments if we ship 8.0R without fixing them.
