From 3933fc952a5a5af4cf23fca94e20203251c9d825 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Rosenboom Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2009 06:25:11 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: Ignore route option with ROUTER_PREF_INVALID RFC4191 says that "If the Reserved (10) value is received, the Route Information Option MUST be ignored.", so this patch makes us conform to the RFC. This is different to the usage of the Default Router Preference, where an invalid value must indeed be treated as PREF_MEDIUM. Signed-off-by: Jens Rosenboom Signed-off-by: David S.
