Forum Topic - IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration: Page 1 of 4 (4 Items)
   
IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration  
One of the things we are evaluating is providing IPv6 support. Our app runs on multiple OSes (Win32, Linux, and QNX). 
One of the things that has come up is that Linux and Win32 support IPv5 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (RFC 2462). 
On those platforms, when we connect to the IPv6 router, we are automatically assigned a global unique and routable IPv6 
address. We thought that rtsold was the QNX piece that would do that for us, but nothing appears to happen. Instead we 
get messages like 

ioctl(SIOCGIGMEDIA) on [interface]: Inappropriate I/O control operation

We tried to set the -m option, but that didn't seem to have any impact.

Any thoughts or ideas?

Thx,
Bill
