IPv6 reject routes
I noticed that my router creates ICMP6_UNREACH_ADDR
when traceroute6 hits a -reject route. IMHO, this is wrong;
it should be ICMP6_UNREACH_NOROUTE.
I think the culprit are these lines in ip6_forward.c:
672 case ENETUNREACH: /* shouldn't happen, checked above */
673 case EHOSTUNREACH:
674 case ENETDOWN:
675 case EHOSTDOWN:
676 default:
677 type = ICMP6_DST_UNREACH;
678 code = ICMP6_DST_UNREACH_ADDR;
679 break;
they should read instead:
case ENETUNREACH:
case EHOSTUNREACH:
+ type = ICMP6_DST_UNREACH;
+ code = ICMP6_DST_UNREACH_NOROUTE;
+ break;
+
case ENETDOWN:
case EHOSTDOWN:
default:
type = ICMP6_DST_UNREACH;
code = ICMP6_DST_UNREACH_ADDR;
break;
Thoughts?
