Hello,
I'm in the process of integrating IPv6 in our user stack.
I'm using lwip-2.1.0RC1, and thanks for that (especially partial SACK since
last stable that saved my day this morning).
Beeing a complete beginner with IPv6, I started with the basics: ping.
I set up a link-local address by hand on lwip as the linux-peer's + 2.
linux: inet6 addr: fe80::76da:38ff:fe3a:1f61/64 Scope:Link
lwip: fe80:0:0:0:76da:38ff:fe3a:1f63
(:: not yet implemented in my code)
I understand linux's link local is built from the mac address, but I assume
one don't care what it is, anything can be setup as soon as it starts with
fe80:: .
Then I pang lwip from linux and check what happens with tcpdump:
13:54:28.502368 IP6 fe80::76da:38ff:fe3a:1f61 > ff02::1:ff3a:1f63: ICMP6,
neighbor solicitation, who has fe80::76da:38ff:fe3a:1f63, length 32
If I understand well IPv6 addressing, ff02::1:ff3a:1f63 is really
ff02:0:0:0:0:1:ff3a:1f63
But this packet was never swallowed by lwip ("not for us").
After checking and printing from within lwip, I found that this macro did not
accept the discovery request,
src/include/lwip/ip6_addr.h L247
#define ip6_addr_isallnodes_linklocal(ip6addr) (((ip6addr)->addr[0] ==
PP_HTONL(0xff020000UL)) && \
((ip6addr)->addr[1] == 0UL) && \
((ip6addr)->addr[2] == 0UL) && \
((ip6addr)->addr[3] == PP_HTONL(0x00000001UL)))
That one would accept the request
#define ip6_addr_isallnodes_linklocal(ip6addr) (((ip6addr)->addr[0] ==
PP_HTONL(0xff020000UL)) && \
((ip6addr)->addr[1] == 0UL) && \
((ip6addr)->addr[2] == PP_HTONL(0x00000001UL)))
This test is done at src/core/ipv6/ip6.c L598
Before digging further, I was wondering whether I'm not currently going into a
wall.
Thanks
david
