In tentative state, we do not receive any packet. After finishind DAD process, we install kernel route for that address in net/ipv6/addrconf.c:__ipv6_ifa_notify(), and we start receiving packet for that address. On the other hand, optimistic addresses are like in deprecated state. So, we should be able to receive frames for those addresses. --yoshfuji - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
