Sorry, I do not understand what you mean here. What kind of scenario are you talking about? It does not matter if the router advertisement is unicast or multicast. In both cases, the hop limit needs to be 255. A router always sets the hop limit to 255. We do not want an advertisement that is forwarded from another node. Refer to this for more information. https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4861#section-6.1.2 > > > diff --git a/net/net.c b/net/net.c > > index c9a749f..39f0b81 100644 > > --- a/net/net.c > > +++ b/net/net.c > > @@ -24,7 +24,7 @@ > > * - name of bootfile > > * Next step: ARP > > * > > - * LINK_LOCAL: > > + * LINKLOCAL: > > > Maybe it is better to move to other patch?! The underscore change on this line is a needed change. LINKLOCAL is used this way in the code. In the comment, it has an extra _ in it. It causes confusion. An important feature of Linux coding is being able to grep for strings. When I grepped for LINK_LOCAL I did not find what I was looking for. If there are more important reasons not to make this change, please let me know to revert it. I did not directly change any LINKLOCAL code, but I needed it for writing my code. It could happen to anyone. I think it is better to fix it here and save everyone's time now. > > > Reviewed-by: Viacheslav Mitrofanov <v.v.mitrofa...@yadro.com> > Tested-by: Viacheslav Mitrofanov <v.v.mitrofa...@yadro.com>
