<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello All,</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have encountered a bug in the latest =
version of
the test suite, with test #167 when running in host mode.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>RFC 2462 states:</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face="Courier New" =
size=2> If the
sum of the prefix length and interface identifier
length<BR> does not equal 128 =
bits, the
Prefix Information option MUST =
be<BR>
ignored. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>This test is advertising a prefix =
length of 96 in
the second RA and expecting the NUT to add the prefix to its list of =
on-link
prefixes, although 96 plus the length of the Ethernet interface ID is =
longer
than 128. From the RFC explanation, I believe this test is =
operating
incorrectly.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, the test procedure documentation =
does not
accurately describe what is actually happening in the test. The
procedure shows just one RA being sent, but in the test, two RAs are =
sent,
each with a different prefix option.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please advise in this matter.</FONT> =
