Hi,

I am using mrd6-0.9.6.tar.gz package to enable mcast on the target router
(Linux 2.6). Also i have applied the following kernel patch "*patch*-*linux2
*.*6.9*-*ipv6*-*mforwarding*-0.1d" to our kernel.

Out of 7 multicast tests, 6 of them are passing expect the one under ICMPv6
Category - *Test v6LC.5.1.4: Packet Too Big Message Generation (Routers
Only) - Part B
*
I observe that the mrd package does the entire multicast routing in the user
space. The Kernel stack is used only for socket operations and the control
never flows into ip6_mr_forward function in the kernel for mcast operations.

The idea behind IPv6 Ready logo is to test the kernel IPv6 stack of the
target. If mrd package doesn'ty make use of the kernel for multicast
forwarding, and does everything in the userspace, I am not clear as what is
the use of executing these test cases under Mcast routing category using
this package.

Kindly clarify.

Thanks in advance.
