Subject: DSCP of ICMPv6 Echo Reply not copied from Echo Request

Hi,
with kernel version 2.6.33.32, I noticed for ping6 that the DSCP value of an Echo Request is not used for the corresponding Echo Reply.

With ICMPv4, this is the case and I think it makes sense.

This is not mandated by ICMP RFCs, but there are good reasons to use the same DSCP in both directions.

Is there a specific reason for this difference between v4 and v6?

Or was it even fixed in some newer kernel version?

best regards, Simon
