>Description:

        The original problem was that I can't ssh to a dom0 from a
hosted domU. Further examination showed that multicast packets (both
IPv4 and IPv6) from the domU can be tcpdump'ed on the dom0, but the
dom0 doesn't react on them. Bridging them to the cable works, though;
I see pongs and can connect to other machines on the LAN.

This has been tested with both xenkernel41/xentools41 and
xenkernel33/xentools33, on different machines with different
ethernet hardware. (bge vs. bnx)

All virtual and real machines run 6.0-postbeta1 or later, dom0 are amd64,
domU are i386-PAE.


>How-To-Repeat:
        From a DomU:
        ssh -6 name-of-dom0 (from dom-U)
        ping 224.0.0.1
        ping6 ff02::1%xennet0
>Fix:
        unknown.
