Dear David S. Miller : Happy to write to you. In the email <20040206.181006.79694138.yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org > <http://oss.sgi.com/archives/netdev/2004-02/msg00111.html>>, yoshfuji unified 3 similar code patch in ndisc_recv_ns(). I have a question about the "flags sent with NA in reply to this NS" . In the kernel 2.4.21, it is as follows: ndisc_send_na(dev, neigh, saddr, &msg->target, idev->cnf.forwarding, 1, 0, inc); in you patch it is as follows: ndisc_send_na(dev, neigh, saddr, &msg->target, idev->cnf.forwarding, 1, (ifp != NULL && inc), inc); Can you tell me why you modified the flag O(override)? Thanks a lot! -- Regards Ren Junyuan -------------------------------------------------- Ren Junyuan Development Dept.I Nanjing Fujitsu Nanda Software Tech.
