[snip] > Why do we have this check in ip6_datagram_connect() ? This problem has been nicely described in http://www.linux-ipv6.org/ml/usagi-users/msg03062.html without any response. RFC2461, Appendix A, really suggests performing neighbour discovery on all the links. I like the idea, it would make LLAs much more useful. Has anyone experimented with this? Is there any good reason why we don't send NSs to all the links to find out which link the destination LLA is on?
