[...] I wonder if maybe you're finding the wording a bit confusing because I think you're misinterpretting things. The systemd networkd has it's own router advertisement implementation and doesn't rely on the kernels default. Also I think networkd handles things per-link which means that looking at system-global settings is probably not very useful. If you look at a particular link you'll likely see that it has accept_ra=0 (eg. disabled) whenever you use systemd networkd to handle RA on that link. Try checking /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/$INTERFACE/accept_ra You'll notice "all" has the system-global setting you're seeing with sysctl, but that a particular link/interface has another which makes it deviate from the global default. I'm not a native english speaker myself by my interpretation of "corresponds to" is NOT "uses", but rather "similar but uses a completely separate implementation". Unfortunately it's not clear to me from reading the rest of your bug report what your original problem really was. Regards, Andreas Henriksson
