SubjectLinux 3.2 and 3.3 not doing IPv6 ND when it should
Hi,

it's me again. I have nailed down my issue a little more. First, I now
see the issue happening with Linux 3.2.9 as well. Unfortunately, it is
still only a single box; the two other Linux hosts that have a
similiar setup (with native IPv6 on an Ethernet interface) are working
flawlessly.

To me, this looks like the ND entry for the default gateway expires
from the neighbour table and Linux doesn't bother to do a new Neighbor
Discovery, but allows the STALE neighbour entry to remain in the
table. Eventually, it feels like doing ND again and everything is fine.

In a packet dump (sorry for the long lines), this looks like

No. Time Source Destination Packet length Protocol Info

2001:db8:40b7:9102::200:100/64 is a local IPv6 address of my host (bound to br1)
2001:db8:40b7:9102::/64 has a number of KVM VMs running on the host (connected via br1)
2001:db8:40b7:9101::/64 has a number of KVM VMs running on the host (connected via br0)
2001:db8:3202::1f is my notebook which was running a ping for a number of IP addresses
2001:db8:1320:0:718f:6a5a:5b60:5632 is a smokeping host checking reachability

To confirm that this is indeed an ND issue, setting a static neighbor
entry for fe80::1 to the link level address of the current gateway
immediately fixed the issue. This is, unfortunately, not a permanent
solution since I don't want to rely on the hoster to keep their link
level addresses static.

If you need more information, please say so.

I'm going to post a similiar ND issue to a new thread soon. This may
be the same issue.

Greetings
Marc
