| + | |||
| + | Worked on getting NDP implemented today. I managed to get responding to NDP solicit messages working, which showed that the previously reimplemented IPv6 routing code has not caused a regression. | ||
| + | |||
| + | As part of the test I pinged a gPXE host after it had autoconfigured an address for itself: | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | 64 bytes from 2001:44b8:7222:a50::f: icmp_seq=5 ttl=255 time=15.4 ms | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | It's nice to see gPXE talking to the network via IPv6 now :). | ||
| + | |||
| + | The next step is to get a kernel booted via HTTP over IPv6, and then I can start working on router advertisements and configuring station addresses based on the prefix announcements (at the moment the 2001:44b8:7222:a50::/64 prefix is hardcoded for testing, but the link local address used for NDP is autoconfigured). | ||
