tentative DAD rump

[Patrick Welche]

The attached (hopefully) implements:

# +---------------------------+
# | gw |
# int 192.168.1.2 ---- + 192.168.1.1 192.168.2.1 |
# +---------------------------+

The puzzle is why 192.168.1.2 can ping 192.168.1.1 but not 192.168.2.1.

inet 192.168.2.1/24 broadcast 192.168.2.255 flags 0x1<TENTATIVE>

might be a clue? Is that not meant to be possible?


Cheers,

Patrick

Correct. You need to wait until DaD has finished at both ends for ping
to work.
