Hello,
>You should iterate all of ifa_list (for IPv4) / addr_list (for IPv6). > For IPv6, we also have anycast (maintained by ac_list) as well. I am not sure that we need to iterate all of ifa_list in IPv4. The reason is that we end with arp_send, and it initiates a broadcast. So all neighbours will receive it and update their arp tables accordingly. The dest hw in the arp_send is NULL according to this patch ; this means that we will assign dev->broadcast to dest_hw in apr_create(). It seems to me there's no reason to send more than one broadcast. In IPv6, I need to check, since it is multicast. Thoughts ?
