In case of multiple active interfaces it effectively directs all link-local traffic to one interface only. It does not sound right. Link-local is link local by definition so we do not really need routing table at all; but we do need to know via which card to send it. For the case of single active card we do not have choice, so can proceed directly to sending. For multiple active cards one possibility is to start neighbor detection for link-local on all configured cards. Another to add explicit host route to each received address pointing to interface via which it was receieved. > + if (err != GRUB_ERR_NONE) > + return NULL; > + return inf; > } > > /* FIXME: allow to specify mac address. */ > -- > 2.1.0 > > > _______________________________________________ > Grub-devel mailing list > Grub-devel@gnu.org > https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
