[IPV4]: Enable use of 240/4 address space.

2008-01-28T23:08:44Z

This short patch modifies the IPv4 networking to enable use of the 240.0.0.0/4 (aka "class-E") address space as propsed in the internet draft draft-fuller-240space-00.txt. Signed-off-by: Jan Engelhardt Acked-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NETNS][IPV6]: inet6_addr - make ipv6_chk_home_addr namespace aware

2008-01-28T23:01:46Z

Looks if the address is belonging to the network namespace, otherwise discard the address for the check. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano Signed-off-by: Benjamin Thery Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NETNS][IPV6]: inet6_addr - ipv6_get_ifaddr namespace aware

2008-01-28T23:01:45Z

The inet6_addr_lst is browsed taking into account the network namespace specified as parameter. If an address does not belong to the specified namespace, it is ignored. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano Signed-off-by: Benjamin Thery Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NETNS][IPV6]: inet6_addr - check ipv6 address per namespace

2008-01-28T23:01:44Z

When a new address is added, we must check if the new address does not already exists. This patch makes this check to be aware of a network namespace, so the check will look if the address already exists for the specified network namespace. While the addresses are browsed, the addresses which do not belong to the namespace are discarded. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano Signed-off-by: Benjamin Thery Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[IPV6]: Add RFC4214 support

2008-01-28T22:55:09Z

This patch includes support for the Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP) per RFC4214. It uses the SIT module, and is configured using extensions to the "iproute2" utility. The diffs are specific to the Linux 2.6.24-rc2 kernel distribution. This version includes the diff for ./include/linux/if.h which was missing in the v2.4 submission and is needed to make the patch compile. The patch has been installed, compiled and tested in a clean 2.6.24-rc2 kernel build area. Signed-off-by: Fred L.

[IPV6] ADDRCONF: Support RFC3484 configurable address selection policy table.

2008-01-28T22:53:58Z

Policy table is implemented as an RCU linear list since we do not expect large list nor frequent updates. Signed-off-by: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[IPV6] MIP6: Loadable module support for MIPv6.

2007-07-11T05:15:42Z

This patch makes MIPv6 loadable module named "mip6". Here is a modprobe.conf(5) example to load it automatically when user application uses XFRM state for MIPv6: alias xfrm-type-10-43 mip6 alias xfrm-type-10-60 mip6 Some MIPv6 feature is not included by this modular, however, it should not be affected to other features like either IPsec or IPv6 with and without the patch. We may discuss XFRM, MH (RAW socket) and ancillary data/sockopt separately for future work. Loadable features: * MH receiving check (to send ICMP error back) * RO header parsing and building (i.e. RH2 and HAO in DSTOPTS) * XFRM policy/state database handling for RO These are NOT covered as loadable: * Home Address flags and its rule on source address selection * XFRM sub policy (depends on its own kernel option) * XFRM functions to receive RO as IPv6 extension header * MH sending/receiving through raw socket if user application opens it (since raw socket allows to do so) * RH2 sending as ancillary data * RH2 operation with setsockopt(2) Signed-off-by: Masahide NAKAMURA Signed-off-by: David S.

[IPV6] ADDRCONF: Optimistic Duplicate Address Detection (RFC 4429) Support.

2007-04-26T05:23:43Z

Nominally an autoconfigured IPv6 address is added to an interface in the Tentative state (as per RFC 2462). Addresses in this state remain in this state while the Duplicate Address Detection process operates on them to determine their uniqueness on the network. During this period, these tentative addresses may not be used for communication, increasing the time before a node may be able to communicate on a network. Using Optimistic Duplicate Address Detection, autoconfigured addresses may be used immediately for communication on the network, as long as certain rules are followed to avoid conflicts with other nodes during the Duplicate Address Detection process.
