From 88ad31491e21f5dec347911d9804c673af414a09 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hannes Frederic Sowa Date: Mon, 6 Jan 2014 17:53:14 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: don't install anycast address for /128 addresses on routers MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit It does not make sense to create an anycast address for an /128-prefix. Suppress it. As 32019e651c6fce ("ipv6: Do not leave router anycast address for /127 prefixes.") shows we also may not leave them, because we could accidentally remove an anycast address the user has allocated or got added via another prefix.
