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 detaily information ,please refer to "Additional info". Reply packet is not right. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.18-43.el5 Software Environment: Testee(NUT): RHEL5 Kernel:2.6.18-43.el5 Tester(TN): FreeBSD6.2 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure TAHI test environment. 2. Run the TAHI test suite 3. After the test completes, check for the results Actual results: TN can not receive Echo Reply or forwarded Echo Request from NUT. Expected results: TN can receive Echo Reply or forwarded Echo Request from NUT. Additional info: Note: IPv6 Ready Logon Phase-2 and NUT is set to be the router mode. For more information,please refer to http://focus.brisbane.redhat.com/~zwu/CoreProtocol_router/20071025/Self_Test_1-4-8_p2_router/spec.p2/index.html (1) 52 Responding to Routing Header - End Node (2) 53 Unrecognized Routing Type - End Node (3) 55 Routing Header Reserved Field - End Node (4) 56 Routing Header Reserved Field - Intermediate Node (Routers Only) (5) 57 Part A: Header Extension Length Odd (6) 58 Part B: Address[i] is Multicast (7) 59 Part A: Header Extension Length Odd (8) 60 Part B: Segments Left Greater Than Number of Addresses (9) 63 Part E: Hop Limit = 0. (10)64 Part F: Hop Limit = 1. (11)65 Part G: Valid Processing
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: http://focus.brisbane.redhat.com/~zwu/CoreProtocol_host/20071024/Self_Test_1-4-8_p2_host/spec.p2/index.html (1) 38 Responding to Routing Header - End Node (2) 39 Unrecognized Routing Type - End Node (3) 40 Routing Header Reserved Field - End Node (4) 41 Part A: Header Extension Length Odd (5) 42 Part B: Address[i] is Multicast
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.
