This is probably best discussed on net-dev rather than core-libs-dev.

Thank you and best regards, Volker I am currently unable to disable IPv6 on my AIX box to test this but would assume it would also work as the code checks to see whether IPv6 is enabled and doesnt try and set the IPV6 options. It seems the issue with the tests failing seems to be, if IPv6 is enabled but the interface doesn't have an IPv6 address associated with it, as in your case here: bash-4.3$ ifconfig -a en0: flags=1e084863,480 inet 10.xx.xxx.xxx netmask 0xfe00 broadcast 10.xx.xxx.xxx tcp_sendspace 262144 tcp_recvspace 262144 rfc1323 1 lo0: flags=e08084b,c0 inet 127.x.x.x netmask 0xff00 broadcast 127.xxx.xxx.xxx inet6 ::1%1/0 tcp_sendspace 131072 tcp_recvspace 131072 rfc1323 1 where you can see that the en0 interface has an inet address associated but doesnt have an inet6 address associated. I can see that IPv6 is enabled as the lo0 interface has an inet6 address (pointing to localhost) As I stated below, my AIX system was configured in a similar way to yours and the tests failed. When I was able to add an inet6 address to en0, everything works correctly. NOTE: Not sure this was correct but I ran 'sudo autoconf6' which seemed to add the inet6 address to my en0 interface. After that all tests worked. So I think the tests are working as expected, but the AIX system is not configured correctly, but I would like someone else to confirm this.

Should these tests work without having IPV6 configured on the interface? In general, tests should not show errors if a system does not meet the requirements for the test. In such cases the test should be skipped somehow. Maybe only a test fix is needed. Can you check on a non-aix machine without ipv6 whether the test passes?

When I ran the tests on my AIX system I got the same results as Goetz listed in the issue. Looking at the failure I noticed that it was failing on a setsockopt call in the native code in the PlainDatagramSocketImpl.c file which returned a EADDRNOTAVAIL

RE: 8207404: MulticastSocket tests failing on Aix
Hi Steve, I'm not that familiar with the network coding. But if the VM thinks that IPv6 is enabled, but later on something fails, shouldn't the check for IPv6 be improved? Especially, if my and your box have been configured the same, this is probably the default on aix boxes. And I guess the VM should work on the default system configuration? Or do you think that this should be fixed in the default system configuration? Best regards, Goetz. > -Original Message- > From: Steve Groeger > Sent: Freitag, 30.

Hi Goetz, I disabled IPv6 on my xLinux box and the MulticastSocket tests pass, as they detected that IPv6 is not enabled and then didnt try and set the IPv6 options. I am currently unable to disable IPv6 on my AIX box to test this but would assume it would also work as the code checks to see whether IPv6 is enabled and doesnt try and set the IPV6 options.
