>Description:
I'm researching on IPv6 multihoming.
I need a generic 6in6 tunnel interface that accepts packets from any source, so I tried with the IFF_LINK2 as said in gif(4), but it didn't work.
Looking at the code, I found out the address checks are done regardless of the IFF_LINK2 (netinet6/in6_gif.c, line 318)
Shouldn't these checks take into account the IFF_LINK2?
Moving them inside the next if works as I expected.
