Is IPv6 send-to-self possible in linux

205 views Asked by At

I am trying to create a setup for testing network equipment, and would like to use multiple (3) NICs in a single PC to produce traffic through an external device, i.e. a network switch. From one interface to another.

All of the tests are for IPv6 and ethernet. All NICs have link local and global IPv6 addresses with the same network/subnet prefix. Atm. all packets are routed internally and never use the physical wire.

I see a lot of threads solving the problem for IPv4 using the net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_local parameter together with some routing table fixes. But I can't find a solution for IPv6.

Anyone know of a solution?
