Subject: Re: [IPv6] Fix ICMPv6 redirect handling with target multicast address

Brian,
        ipv6_addr_type() returns a mask, so checking for equality will 
fail to
match if  any other (irrelevant) attributes are set. How about using 
bitwise
operators for that? Also, the error message is no longer descriptive of 
the
failure if it's a link-local multicast, but you could make it "target 
address is not
link-local unicast.\n" (in both places).

                                                +-DLS
