Re: kern/57037: unncessary and unwarranted RTM_NEWADDR for IPv6 routing messages



Hi,

Could you try the following patch and command?
====================
# sysctl -w net.inet6.ip6.param_rt_msg=0
====================

If the behavior is what you want, I will commit the patch.

  Looking at route.h we have:
#define RTM_NEWADDR 0x16 /* address being added to iface */
  #define RTM_DELADDR     0x17    /* address being removed from iface */
  #define RTM_CHGADDR     0x18    /* address properties changed */
Wouldn't RTM_CHGADDR be more appropriate for address parameter updates
  when new new address is being added?
