Hi.. Thanks for your reply. I agree that an interface can have more than one ipv6 addresses but in the PoC I am doing for an IP Traceback technique, I need to record a hash of the IP of incoming interface. For that I need to be able to read the packet.
Your reply gave me a direction to explore the use of dev->ip6_ptr->ac_list .. For ipv6. However I m not sure what is ac_list and what is mc_list here.. I wonder if there is some documentation around it in this world. Can you please give me a pointer or if you could brief me about how do I list all ipv6 addresses of the interface. Well, yet I tried to get the ip addresses pointed to by ac_list and before I could see if it displays something, system slows down unbelievably with syllogism error as 'takedown serio0. Some program might be trying to access hardware directly." And mouse stops moving. I am not sure if this error is a result of my operation or something else. I will try loading this module Again. But any comments from your side on this please?
