[PATCH net-next] ipv6: add support of peer address

[Nicolas Dichtel]

This patch adds the support of peer address for IPv6. For example, it is
possible to specify the remote end of a 6inY tunnel.
This was already possible in IPv4:
 ip addr add ip1 peer ip2 dev dev1

The peer address is specified with IFA_ADDRESS and the local address with
IFA_LOCAL (like explained in include/uapi/linux/if_addr.h).
Note that the API is not changed, because before this patch, it was not
possible to specify two different addresses in IFA_LOCAL and IFA_REMOTE.
There is a small change for the dump: if the peer is different from ::,
IFA_ADDRESS will contain the peer address instead of the local address.

[PATCH net-next v2] ipv6: add support of peer address

[Nicolas Dichtel]

This patch adds the support of peer address for IPv6. For example, it is
possible to specify the remote end of a 6inY tunnel.
This was already possible in IPv4:
 ip addr add ip1 peer ip2 dev dev1

The peer address is specified with IFA_ADDRESS and the local address with
IFA_LOCAL (like explained in include/uapi/linux/if_addr.h).
Note that the API is not changed, because before this patch, it was not
possible to specify two different addresses in IFA_LOCAL and IFA_REMOTE.
There is a small change for the dump: if the peer is different from ::,
IFA_ADDRESS will contain the peer address instead of the local address.

It is not appropriate to submit patches for near features at this
time.

Let me know what part of:

you find hard to understand, and I'll adjust my future announcements
to make them easier for you to understand.

In fact, it was one hour before I send it .. and  I did not check my mail during 
this hour.

[RESEND PATCH net-next v2] ipv6: add support of peer address

[Nicolas Dichtel]

This patch adds the support of peer address for IPv6. For example, it is
possible to specify the remote end of a 6inY tunnel.
This was already possible in IPv4:
 ip addr add ip1 peer ip2 dev dev1

The peer address is specified with IFA_ADDRESS and the local address with
IFA_LOCAL (like explained in include/uapi/linux/if_addr.h).
Note that the API is not changed, because before this patch, it was not
possible to specify two different addresses in IFA_LOCAL and IFA_REMOTE.
There is a small change for the dump: if the peer is different from ::,
IFA_ADDRESS will contain the peer address instead of the local address.

Note that iproute2 is already able to add addr like this (but needs a small
fix for the display, I will send it when the patch is merged):

Re: [RESEND PATCH net-next v2] ipv6: add support of peer address

> This was already possible in IPv4:
>  ip addr add ip1 peer ip2 dev dev1
> 
> The peer address is specified with IFA_ADDRESS and the local address with

> Note that the API is not changed, because before this patch, it was not

Applied, thanks Nicolas.
