[olsr-dev] Re: multiple ip address on the olsrd iface

[Andreas Tønnesen]

Hi Magesh,

This problem would be easy to solve if we were building our own IP
headers. That's why I started working on using libnet in olsrd. Everything
went fine until I started testing IPv6. It turns out that IPv6/UDP crashes
libnet! I wrote a mail to the libnet mailinglist regarding this - but the
list seems to be dead...
Anyways, I'm not sure who to solve this problem in any other way than
start using raw IP sockets. I guess we might consider that... I can't
promise you anything regarding when(and if) this will be ready. If the
libnet solution had worked it would have been fixed in january :-(
