Public bug reported: Binary package hint: radvd
After upgrading an IPv6 router from karmic to lucid-rc, all hosts (several Linux and OS X boxes) on the internal net lose external IPv6 connectivity after 30 minutes. A little debugging with radvdump dump showed that radvd stops sending multicasts router advertisements after the first few packages => clients lose there default route after the AdvDefaultLifetime setting (default 1800 seconds). Apparently this is a known bug (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=553696) that for some reason didn't show up with karmic but does with lucid (the radvd package is the same in both distributions currently). I've built Debian's radvd 1.6 package for lucid now (see https://launchpad.net/~jk/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=lucid). Everything works fine with this version: radvdump shows no signs of RA starvation and clients keep there external IPv6 connectivity. As this problem potentially will affect a lot of people using IPv6, I'd suggest updating radvd to 1.6 for the final lucid release. ** Affects: radvd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: radvd (Debian) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Tags: regression-potential ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #553696 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=553696 ** Also affects: radvd (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=553696 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Tags added: regression-potential -- lucid: multicast RA starvation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/569431 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
