Hi Jinmei,
Can you clarify me
here:
A snip from
IP and higher layers (e.g., TCP,
UDP) MUST continue to accept and
process datagrams destined to a deprecated address as normal since a deprecated address is still a valid address for the interface. In the case of TCP, this means TCP SYN segments sent to a deprecated address are responded to using the deprecated address as a source address in the corresponding SYN-ACK (if the connection would otherwise be allowed). =====> What if I have received an echo-request to a deprecated
address.
As per the text I can understand
that IPv6 Accepts the packet and gives to ICMPv6.
However, to send ICMPv6 Echo
Reply it uses the deprecated address is used as
Source Address as per ICMPv6
Source Address Determination. Eventually,
ICMPv6 sends out Echo
Reply. Is this an expected behaviour ?
Thank you,
O.L.N. Rao
