link-local needed w/static IP and gateway?

2011-06-12 Thread Charles Sprickman
Hello, I've been trying to wrap my head around the differences between address resolution in IPv6 and IPv4 and I'm a bit confused by a real-world issue I'm seeing in a colo facility where we have dual-stack connectivity. Basically, what I see is summed up in this recent post: http://freebsd.

Hello, We're running a few 8.1-R servers with Broadcom bce interfaces (Dell R510) and I'm seeing occasional packet loss on them (enough that it trips nagios now and then). Cabling seems fine as neither the switch nor the sysctl info for the device show any errors/collisions/etc, however there
