Hi all,
Support for IPPROTO_ICMP socket binds was added in commit c319b4d76b9e583a5d88d6bf190e079c4e43213d
which allow for process to send ICMP_ECHO messages (and receive the corresponding ICMP_ECHOREPLY messages)
without any special privileges.
There doesn't appear to be any similar functionality for IPPROTO_ICMPV6.
Would the net maintainers be open to including a patch that adds similar support for ICMPv6?
Thanks,
Jesse

But there is IPv6 support already, this was added in linux-3.11 by
Lorenzo Colitti.
