3. Business Case
This is a SHOULD+ requirement in the Version 2.0 of the IPv6 DoD product profile and is expected to
become a MUST requirement in the next revision(3.0) of the profile document. As part of continuing
DoD certification, this feature is a MUST.

Benefits
Allows the users the flexibility to configure the policy without having to depend upon the default
policy.

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2008-10-02 20:40:20 UTC 
RHEL 6 will include at least a 2.6.25 kernel, so this should not be a problem.
(The current Fedora iproute version is up to date as well.)

The feature requested has already been accepted into the upstream code base
planned for the next major release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

When the next milestone release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is available,
please verify that the feature requested is present and functioning as
desired.
Comment 3 releng-rhel@redhat.com 2009-12-16 21:50:52 UTC 
Fixed in 'iproute-2.6.29-5.0.20091009gitdaf49fd6'. 'iproute-2.6.29-5.0.20091009gitdaf49fd6.el6' included in compose 'RHEL6.0-20091216.nightly'.
Moving to ON_QA.
