Hi David,

I re-test this on 6.4.0 and it also failed. So this looks like an env issue
on your side?

# uname -r
6.4.0
# ./fib_nexthop_multiprefix.sh
TEST: IPv4: host 0 to host 1, mtu 1300                              [ OK ]
TEST: IPv6: host 0 to host 1, mtu 1300                              [FAIL]

And from the test result, it looks we should receive the Packet too big message
from r1. So look the current checking is incorrect and the "from ::" checking
should be removed.

Please fix me if I missed anything?

Thanks
