    ipv6: silence log messages for locally generated multicast · 24fc7b86
    Jan Sembera authored
    This patch fixes minor annoyance during transmission of unsolicited
    neighbor advertisements from userspace to multicast addresses (as
    far as I can see in RFC, this is allowed and the similar functionality
    for IPv4 has been in arping for a long time).
    
    Outgoing multicast packets get reinserted into local processing as if they
    are received from the network. The machine thus sees its own NA and fills
    the logs with error messages. This patch removes the message if NA has been
    generated locally.
