Hi Steven,
The patch tries to solve a routing issue for the gateway in the following
setup
Host1---------------LAN
Router1-----------------Gateway--------------------WAN Router1
GlobalPrefix A Global Prefix B Global
Prefix WAN
The gateway is configured with a static prefix B and B1 is the prefix IPv6
address installed on the LAN interface.
A route for GlobalPrefix A via Router 1 is configured in the Gateway via
LAN router 1; additionally
the Gateway contains a default route (to WAN Router 1) in the routing table
owned by the Wan interface.
When a ping is launched from Host1 using src address A1 to the IPv6 address
B1 on the gateway the ping reply
was routed to the WAN as no explicit source IP rules were in place to use
the routing table owned by the LAN
interface.
With the patch an extra IP rule is installed to instruct all traffic with
as source IP address B1 to lookup
the routing table owned by the LAN interface.
I saw that such a IP src rule was already in place for static configured IP
addresses to solve such routing
issues.
Br,
Hans
