Subject: Re: [PATCH] IPv6: Implement RFC 4429 Optimistic Duplicate Address
 Detection

Hi Neil

I don't this is still right...

First, you do looped packet detection for all packets, not just DAD.

Second, you fail dad in the OPTIMISTIC case, but not the regular case, which should also fail
if this is a DAD packet.

I think the following is what you want (totally untested):

	if (ifp->flags & (IFA_F_TENTATIVE|IFA_F_OPTIMISTIC)) {

		if (dad) {
			/* We are processing a DAD packet for a tentative address.
			 * Make sure that this was not one of our NSs looped back
			 * to us.
			 */
			if (dev->type== ARPHDR_IEEE802_TR) {
				..... blah ...
			}

			/* Fail DAD since we are colliding with someout out there*/
			addrconf_dad_failure(ifp);
		} else {
			/* This is not a DAD neighbor solicitation.  If we
			 * are OPTIMISTIC, we'll respond with a NA.  Otherwise
			 * we'll ignore the packet.
			 */
			if (!(ifp->flags & IFA_F_OPTIMISTIC))
				goto out
		}
	}
	idef = ifp->idev;
