Description Ed Maste freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-11-14 16:25:38 UTC 
Packet.net folks tested a FreeBSD/arm64 image and found that IPv6 is broken.

Issue 1: Multicast ARM64TODO
Report:
> in6_ifattach: vnic0 is not multicast capable, IPv6 not enabled

Log:
  Unbreak IPv6.

  No longer return ENXIO when trying to send an IPv6 packet in
  nicvf_sq_add_hdr_subdesc().
  Restructure the code so that the upper layer protocol parts are
  agnostic of the L3 protocol (and no longer specific to IPv4).
  With this basic IPv6 packets go through.  We are still seeing
  weird behaviour which needs further diagnosis.
