| After the following commit, my IPv6 network does not work at all.
| What information is required to investigate my problem?
The ATF tests (the network tests) have all started failing as well.
I have started looking to see if I can see which actual mod broke things.
While here, I am not sure I agree with the reason for the changes (even
if they can be made to work) - and regardless of what ancient systems
used to do.
Sending to a detached address should fail (regardless of from where
the packet is sent - including the system that owns the addr) - that
allows simple testing that all of the addresses are functioning properly.
And I think I remember saying before that tentative addresses are not
even close to the same thing - a detached addr is one which does not
work (because its network link does not work). A tentative addr is
one which does work, but which we have just not proved is not a dplicate
(but 99% of the time - or more - is just fine.)
Sending to/from detached addresses should be prevented. Sending to/from
tentative addresses should be allowed, always - until they are detected
as invalid, at which point, they are simply removed (or made detached,
or whatever) after which they can no longer be used.
