Just a quick follow up.
The current logic for when to do proxy ndp seems to be:
network_device_is_forwarding && (global_proxy_ndp_is_on ||
network_device_is configured_for_proxy_ndp)
Maybe this should be:
(network_device_is_forwarding && global_proxy_ndp_is_on) ||
network_device_is configured_for_proxy_ndp
After all, if the admin has explicitly set proxy ndp on this specific
device, then maybe he knows best?
Alternatively it could also just be:
global_proxy_ndp_is_on || network_device_is configured_for_proxy_ndp
and not bother with checking forwarding at all.
[It should be pointed out that ipv6/conf/all/forwarding is a very
different beast than ipv6/conf/<device>/forwarding, the first globally
turns on ipv6 forwarding, the second switches a device between 'I am a
host' and 'I am a router' modes of operation]
