Subject: [PATCH] net: dhcp6: Send DHCPv6 using multicast MAC
Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2025 14:06:13 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250127220613.11518-1-seanedmond@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)

From: Sean Edmond <seanedmond@microsoft.com>

In IPv6, the broadcast MAC address is not used.  Instead, it should use
the multicast address (see RFC RFC2464).

Signed-off-by: Sean Edmond <seanedmond@microsoft.com>
