In fact, that change is not directly responsible for the failure, since the "new" IPV6_HOPLIMIT value is also unknown to old kernels. Linux kernel headers namely changed from: #define IPV6_HOPLIMIT 8 to: #define IPV6_2292HOPLIMIT 8 #define IPV6_RECVHOPLIMIT 51 #define IPV6_HOPLIMIT 52 To fix ping6 and tracepath6 with old kernels, you would need to use (non-standard) IPV6_2292HOPLIMIT instead of IPV6_HOPLIMIT. IIRC, updated upstream version of iputils has some run-time logic to fallback to RFC2292 when RFC3542 is not supported. -- Rémi Denis-Courmont
