From 74553b09dcd9194cbda737016f0b89f245145670 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ville Nuorvala Date: Fri, 22 Sep 2006 14:42:18 -0700 Subject: [IPV6]: Don't forward packets to proxied link-local address. Proxying router can't forward traffic sent to link-local address, so signal the sender and discard the packet. This behavior is clarified by Mobile IPv6 specification (RFC3775) but might be required for all proxying router. Based on MIPL2 kernel patch.
