Subject: TAHI CN-6-4-1 failed on Linux 2.6.32 kernel

Hello,

The TAHI correspondent node tests CN-6-4-1 (Processing in upper layer
- Echo Checksum) failed for me in the 2.6.32 kernel.  It appears that
the Linux kernel is replying the ICMP echo request in
icmpv6_echo_reply without much checking.  Is this an intentional
non-conformance to RFC3775 section 9.3.1?

Thanks,

Steve
