  Hi,

I'm using bridge-utils to add a bunch of tap interfaces to my computer=20
so I can run different qemu vm at the same time without using nat to=20
give them network access. It works fine.

But at the same time I would like to add a lot of IPv6s addresses to the=20
bridge interface (br0). I find myself limitated to more or less 56=20
addresses. If I add one more, one of the addresses already existing just=20
disappear from the br0 interface.

Is there something I could do to remove or extent this limitation ?

Best regards,
Fran=E7ois Schmidts.
