Perhaps related: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=583985 This isn't related to traceroute issue. The flowlabel functionality is disabled by default therefore "Flow labels are not supported" message is printed. Simple enabling doesn't fix it due to problems with headers. I have to investigate it a bit. During investigation, would be nice if you can also look into the next hop option (source routing), which is not working for IPv6 at all: # ping6 -c 1 2001:xxxx:xxxx:65::1 2001:xxxx:xxxx:66:5054:ff:fexx:xxxx PING ipv6-client-b(ipv6-client-b) 56 data bytes ping: sendmsg: Invalid argument IPv4 works (after enabling accept IPv4 source routing on all participating nodes): # ping 10.0.65.1 ipv4-client-b PING ipv4-client-b (10.0.66.2) 56(124) bytes of data. 64 bytes from ipv4-client-b (10.0.66.2): icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=2.78 ms LSRR: ipv4-router-c-65 (10.0.65.1) Disabling flowlabel functinality seems to be an intention. Well, I've add glibc owner to ask him about following issue: Ipuitls use glibc-headers but the flowlabel needs in6_flowlabel-req structure defined in linux/in6.h (kernel headers). This header conflicts with glibs's headers. I wouldn't like to separate missing structure to proprietary header. Questions toward glibc: Is there some planning to add flowlabel to glibc's headers? Thanks Jiri iputils-20071127-11.fc12 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 12. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/iputils-20071127-11.fc12 iputils-20071127-11.fc12 has been pushed to the Fedora 12 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update iputils'. You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/iputils-20071127-11.fc12 Option -F is now working, but value on -F is interpreted as hexadecimal, I don't know whether this is proper or not, but sure not mentioned on the man page: # ping6 -c 1 -F 18 ::1 PING ::1(::1) , flow 0x00018, 56 data bytes 64 bytes from ::1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.027 ms --- ::1 ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.027/0.027/0.027/0.000 ms -F 18 results in flow 0x00018 which was also then seen on tcpdump Just note that "next hop" option is still not working, should I file a new bug or extend subject of this one? iputils-20071127-11.fc12 has been pushed to the Fedora 12 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
