Description Zhiyong Wu 2007-10-26 02:34:28 UTC
Description of problem:
  
  When we have tests about "RFC 2460 - IPv6 Specification" by IPv6 test suite 

from TAHI and NUT is set to be the router mode, we found some failing tests
about IPv6 routing header.For more

How reproducible:

  every time

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Configure TAHI test environment.

Also about IPv6 routing header:

  when IPv6 Ready Logon Phase-2 and NUT is set to the host mode,

pls refer to the url below:

Comment 5 Subhendu Ghosh 2007-12-21 06:08:55 UTC
RFC 5095 has been approved and RH0 is now considered depracated from supported
standards.

TAHI test suite 1.5.0-b2 (beta) contains an option in config.txt that allows the
test to succeed based on the draft version on RFC 5095. It is expected that the
final release of TAHI Self Test 1.5.0 will follow RFC 5095 guidelines.
