Hi, I tried to set up my raspberry PI as an ipv6 router. As a tunnel broker I use sixxs. Now I observed an interesting behavior:
Every host from my network can reach the ipv6 world. The ipv6 world can also reach every host in my network. However - the router itself is unable to make udp or tcp connection to the "world" and is also unable to accept connections form the "world" ICMP however works properly. I had a look to the tcpdump and when trying to connect i.e. to www.kame.net the rasperry router sends a syn packet and get a syn/ack packet back. The rest of the handshake is missing. I tried also some udp with netcat (nc -6 -u -l 5555 on the server and nc -6 -u <server> 5555 on the client) This works great for internal (ethernet) traffic but when the data should go through the tunnel if fails. The last test is maybe the most significant to describe the bug: Start netcat to listen for UDP packages on an external host: <external host> nc -6 -u -l 5555 Connect from the RPI-Router to that host <RPI> nc -6 -u 2001:4dd0:xxxx:xxxx::2 5555 Now it is possible to send data from the RPI router to the external host but the opposite direction does not work. Tcpdump however shows that the udp package arrives but it is not "forwarded" to the application. So for me it seems to be a problem with the handling of the receiving data in the gif interface. This behavior is independent from net.inet6.ip6.forwarding or net.inet6.ip6.redirect status. The router system: FreeBSD raspberry-pi.xxx 10.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT #2 r254984 Best regards, Martin Laabs _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
