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. Signed-off-by: Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
