RFC3971

Does anyone know if RFC3971 support is being developed for Linux? It does
not seem to be implemented in the mainline now (2.6.22.1).

Try turning on IPsec for all addresses and access a neighbor host on the
same network. Communications in IPv6 will fail if there is no security
association eastablished. One of the communications that will fail is
ICMPv6. Neighbor Discovery uses ICMPv6. It's a chicken-and-egg problem.
Supposedly SEND (RFC3971) will solve this. I'd like to get it into Linux.
