FYI.
pktgen has been added some basic ipv6 send support. Not easy portable since
it's Linux module. Anyway it should have some merits due to it's ability to
generate very high loads.
ftp://robur.slu.se:/pub/Linux/net-development/pktgen-testing/
(Haven't got much of response from any testers sofar)
It brings up the question of any support for address ipv6 conversion functions
in kernel? ipv4 has at least in_aton. (net/utils.c)
pktgen uses scan_ip6, fmt_ip taken from dietlibc to get some minimal inet_pton,
inet_ntop functionality.
Cheers.
