Hi all,

I have discovered the problem with IP6 ND RA receiving side - it can be
observed on Windows 10/7/UBNT airos8 and some others. Issue not observed on
the Debian 11+nmcli. Configuration is pretty straightforward. Tested with
VPP 22.06, 22.10. Issue persists. VPP configuration is the default, tested
on APU4D4 and a few others. No linuxcp/nl is used.

1. configure VPP:

> set interface ip address GigabitEthernet3/0/0 2a01:500::1/64
> set interface state GigabitEthernet3/0/0 up
> create loopback interface
> set interface state loop0 up
> set interface ip address loop0 2a01:400::1/64
> ip6 nd GigabitEthernet3/0/0 prefix 2a01:500::/64 default
> ip6 nd GigabitEthernet3/0/0 no ra-suppress
>

vpp# show version

vpp v22.10-release built by root on 89a4591888eb at 2022-10-26T14:00:30


2. connect host Windows7/10/ubnt to the GigabitEthernet3/0/0 and you can
observe weird behavior
- RA from VPP is received, IP6 address is installed. Icmp echo to the VPP
link local address and configured 2a01:500::1 works.
- RA from VPP is received, IP6 default route is installed and works. Icmp
echo to the 2a01:400::1 works.

*Issue*:  After stopping all icmp echo for a few seconds/minutes, IP6
default route is removed from the host system, and the path to the
2a01:400::1 is unknown for the host. The default route is removed - the
host device ignores ra-lifetime.

LinuxCP/NL + RADVD sollution test:
I have already tried to solve this problem by using linuxcp/nl and RADVD,
but there is another issue. When radvd start, communication from the
external host to the link-local address stop passing. The host device
successfully receives prefix and default route, but the default route is
via the link-local address and the vpp link-local address is inaccessible
from the host device after radvd start.

Best regards
Petr Boltik
