[lvs-users] ipv6 arp_ignore

[Sander Klein]

Hi,

I'm looking into enabling IPv6 on my loadbalancers using DSR. I'm
currently running it for my IPv4 hosts.

Now I'm wondering if the arp problem still exists for IPv6 since
there's no arp_ignore option in the kernel for it.

Regards,

Sander

IPv6 doesn't use ARP. Instead of ARP, IPv6 uses NDP, neighbor discovery protocol. So I think you are safe from any ARP problems with IPv6.
