Note that rt6_probe() is only used in CONFIG_IPV6_ROUTER_PREF. 40 udpflood processes and a /64 gateway route are used. The gateway has NUD_PERMANENT. Each of them is run for 30s. At the end, the total number of finished sendto(): Before: 55M After: 95M Signed-off-by: Martin KaFai Lau Cc: Hannes Frederic Sowa CC: Julian Anastasov CC: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki Signed-off-by: David S.
