Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2011 21:34:08 +0300 From: Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@....inr.ac.ru> To: netdev@...r.kernel.org, davem@...emloft.net Subject: [PATCH] inet6: prevent network storms caused by linux IPv6 routers Linux IPv6 forwards unicast packets, which are link layer multicasts... The hole was present since day one. I was 100% this check is there, but it is not. The problem shows itself, f.e. when Microsoft Network Load Balancer runs on a network. This software resolves IPv6 unicast addresses to multicast MAC addresses.
