My OpenBSD 4.6 system (which is on a Soekris net5501) seems to have a large
number of routes in its IP6 routing table. I don't understand why. For
example:
--snip--
ff02::1:ff00:115%vr1 link#2 UHc 0
0 - 4 vr1
ff02::1:ff00:116%vr1 link#2 UHc 0
0 - 4 vr1
ff02::1:ff00:117%vr1 link#2 UHc 0
0 - 4 vr1
ff02::1:ff00:118%vr1 link#2 UHc 0
0 - 4 vr1
ff02::1:ff00:119%vr1 link#2 UHc 0
0 - 4 vr1
ff02::1:ff00:11a%vr1 link#2 UHc 0
0 - 4 vr1
ff02::1:ff00:11b%vr1 link#2 UHc 0
0 - 4 vr1
--snip--
Like I say, there are many such entries:
# netstat -nr | grep ff02:: | wc -l
2514
In case it is relevant, I use a the IPv6 tunnel broker service at
tunnelbroker.net. The system has been running with this configuration for
over 400 days and has otherwise been very reliable.
Is this harmful? Where did these routes come from?
Many thanks,
James.
