Package: netcat6
Version: 0.5-1
I'm using netcat6 to try some things for an implementation of DHCPv6 of mine.
DHCPv6 works over UDP, so I always use the -u option. When testing things in
unicast mode (i.e. sending to the address of the server, fec0::1, or ::1 when
in local mode) everything works fine, but if I try to use a multicast address
as a destination (for example, ff02::1:2, which is specific to DHCPv6, or the
ip6-allhosts address, ff02::3), it gives the following error:
r...@lazarus:~$ nc6 -u ff02::1:2 547
nc6: unable to connect to address ff02::1:2, service 547
Please note that inside my client implementation, a sendto() to any of these
addresses works perfectly.
I have the following packages installed:
ii kernel-image-2.4.24-1 2.4.24-3
ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-11
ii netcat6 0.5-1
