Dear all,

I did notice that each time I startup my domU, my network is flooded by ICMPv6 multicast packets …

I’m running Xen 3.4.2 with a 2.6.32-3-xen-amd64 linux kernel.

I did notice that either FreeBSD, Linux and Windows suffer of this behavior (some more than others ahah, I let you guess which one is the less happy with this behavior)

Attached to the mail the pcap file dumping all those damn packets.

Thanks by advance.

Guillaume S.
