vpp-manager: Add static neighbor for LL address on tap0#938
Merged
Conversation
This patch adds a static neighbor for the node's LinkLocal address on tap0. This simplify things as we know the node's link local in advance and use it for other purposes, so we save a resolution. Also we do not yet support it changing. Finally if we do not have this, we learn the neighbor through gratuitous requests from linux to ND proxy and NS/ND, but as we do not have a glean toward linux, we cannot learn the neighbor if packets are coming from the uplink without prior linux initiated sollicits. As an example DHCPv6 sollicts replies need forwarding and we might have forgotten the neighbor by then. Signed-off-by: Nathan Skrzypczak <nathan.skrzypczak@gmail.com>
