That was a feature added to sys/netinet/in.c and ip_input.c back in 2007 to obey RFC 3927 not to output datagrams destined for 169.254.0.0/16. On a system that needed to be able to send datagrams to 169.254.0.0/16 addresses, I wrote this patch to add a sysctl knob net.inet.fwd_link_local to dynamically allow a system to send those datagrams: Index: in.c =================================================================== RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/sys/netinet/in.c,v retrieving revision 1.102.2.4.2.1 diff -u -r1.102.2.4.2.1 in.c --- in.c 15 Apr 2009 03:14:26 -0000 1.102.2.4.2.1 +++ in.c 29 Jul 2009 15:10:42 -0000 @@ -67,6 +67,9 @@ struct in_ifaddr *, struct sockaddr_in *, int); static void in_purgemaddrs(struct ifnet *); +int ip_fwdlinklocal = 0; +SYSCTL_INT(_net_inet_ip, OID_AUTO, fwd_link_local, CTLFLAG_RW, + &ip_fwdlinklocal, 0, "Forward link-local addresses"); static int subnetsarelocal = 0; SYSCTL_INT(_net_inet_ip, OID_AUTO, subnets_are_local, CTLFLAG_RW, &subnetsarelocal, 0, "Treat all subnets as directly connected"); @@ -129,7 +132,8 @@ register u_long i = ntohl(in.s_addr); register u_long net; - if (IN_EXPERIMENTAL(i) || IN_MULTICAST(i) || IN_LINKLOCAL(i)) + if (IN_EXPERIMENTAL(i) || IN_MULTICAST(i) || + (!ip_fwdlinklocal && IN_LINKLOCAL(i))) return (0); if (IN_CLASSA(i)) { net = i & IN_CLASSA_NET; Index: ip_input.c =================================================================== RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/sys/netinet/ip_input.c,v retrieving revision 1.332.2.5.2.1 diff -u -r1.332.2.5.2.1 ip_input.c --- ip_input.c 15 Apr 2009 03:14:26 -0000 1.332.2.5.2.1 +++ ip_input.c 29 Jul 2009 15:10:44 -0000 @@ -134,6 +134,7 @@ static struct ifqueue ipintrq; static int ipqmaxlen = IFQ_MAXLEN; +extern int ip_fwdlinklocal; extern struct domain inetdomain; extern struct protosw inetsw[]; u_char ip_protox[IPPROTO_MAX]; @@ -532,7 +533,7 @@ } } /* RFC 3927 2.7: Do not forward datagrams for 169.254.0.0/16. */ - if (IN_LINKLOCAL(ntohl(ip->ip_dst.s_addr))) { + if (!ip_fwdlinklocal && IN_LINKLOCAL(ntohl(ip->ip_dst.s_addr))) { ipstat.ips_cantforward++; m_freem(m); return; _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
