From 2ceb1109df06418f6b5aabe90959b0a5d3c85744 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marcelo Ricardo Leitner Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2013 22:26:08 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: do not create neighbor entries for local delivery They will be created at output, if ever needed. This avoids creating empty neighbor entries when TPROXYing/Forwarding packets for addresses that are not even directly reachable. Note that IPv4 already handles it this way. No neighbor entries are created for local input. Tested by myself and customer. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: Marcelo Ricardo Leitner Signed-off-by: David S.
