Hi,

when a redirect message is recived, and if  it has no Redirected Header
option, the kernel will drop it in function ndisc_redirect_rcv(). But i=
t is said
that the Redirected Header option is optional in rfc 4861. Now i=E2=80=99=
m not sure
 whether or not it should be dealt with in function ndisc_redirect_rcv(=
)?

thanks!
