I've uploaded the patches (with signoffs) to: https://aurora.nox.tf/tmp/rule55/ NB: patch 2 of 3 is slightly different from the version I mailed, I accidentally lost a NULL check in ipv6_rt_get_saddr(). I do _not_ intend to continue working on these since I now believe the functionality should be put on neighbor cache entries. This requires some (minor IMHO) rework to make these neighbor entries stay alive until their prefix information times out. By putting it there, it can support addresses that are configured from dhcpv6 or static/admin. The code linked above only works for SLAAC. => the patches are intended purely for testing, for example if someone hacks on the router side and wants to use Linux VMs to test the full picture.
