IPv6 Release Notes

Support for IPv6 over VLAN
The B.11.31.0809 version of IPv6 provides support for IPv6 over virtual LAN (VLAN).
For more information on VLAN configuration, see the VLAN Administrator's Guide:
http://www.docs.hp.com.
Ability to Disable Autoconfiguration Based on Router Advertisements
Starting with this release of IPv6, HP provides the ability to disable autoconfiguration
based on the contents of the received router advertisements using the
ip6_nd_autoconf tunable in the ndd command.
The default value of the ip6_nd_autoconf tunable is 1, the received router
advertisement is processed as defined in RFC 2461 (Neighbor Discovery for IPv6) and
RFC 2462 (IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration). For information on this tunable,
enter the ndd help command or see HP-UX IPv6 Transport Administrator's Guide at
http://www.docs.hp.com.
Support for RFC 3810 (Multicast Listener Discovery Version 2 (MLDv2))
The B.11.31.0809 version of IPv6 updates the HP-UX implementation of Multicast
Listener Discovery (MLD) protocol from RFC 2710 (Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD)
for IPv6) to MLD version 2 as specified in RFC 3810. The major feature available with
RFC 3810 is the support for source filtering, which is the ability for a node to report
the include or exclude list of source addresses the node is interested or not interested
in listening.
NOTE: The B.11.31.0809 version of IPv6 does not support the MLDv2 router
functionality.
Support for RFC 3376 (Internet Group Management Protocol Version 3 (IGMPv3))
This release updates the HP-UX implementation of Internet Group Management Protocol
to IGMPv3 as specified in RFC 3376. The major feature available with RFC 3376 is the
support for source filtering, which is the ability for a node to report the include or
exclude list of source addresses the node is interested or not interested in listening.
Although IGMP is an IPv4 protocol, the IGMPv3 functionality is included in the
IPv6Upgrade bundle to provide a complete multicast source filter implementation
along with RFC 3810 and RFC 3678.
NOTE: The B.11.31.0809 version of IPv6 does not support the IGMPv3 router
functionality.
Support for RFC 3678 (Socket Interface Extensions for Multicast Source Filters)
The IGMPv3 and MLDv2 protocols enable applications to specify source filters on
multicast group memberships. RFC 3678 defines new socket options and functions that
