Hello,

quoted

You should iterate all of ifa_list (for IPv4) / addr_list (for IPv6).
For IPv6, we also have anycast (maintained by ac_list) as well.

I am not sure that we need to iterate all of ifa_list in IPv4.
The reason is that we end with arp_send, and it initiates a broadcast.
So all neighbours will receive it and update their arp tables
accordingly.
The dest hw in the arp_send is NULL according to this patch ; this means that
we will assign dev->broadcast to dest_hw  in apr_create().

It seems to me there's no reason to send more than one broadcast.

Urgh? what is happend if you have multiple IPv4 addresses on the device?

In IPv6, I need to check, since it is multicast.

Please read RFC2461 Section 7.2.6.  In short we should send a few
unsolicited NA, but I think you can start from sending once per an
address.
