[Qemu-devel] [PATCHv5 00/18] slirp: Adding IPv6 support to Qemu -net user mode

[Samuel Thibault <samuel.thibault@gnu.org>]

Hello,

This is another respin of IPv6 in Qemu -net user mode.

These patches add ICMPv6, NDP, and make UDP and TCP compatible with
IPv6. We have made some refactoring to make current code compatible with
IPv6.

Patches 1 to 8 are refactoring of existing code and do not change the behavior,
9 adds a helper, and 10 to 18 add ipv6 support. Patches 3 and 16 are only
reindents of the resulting code, without code change.

Difference with version 4 is:
- rebase on qemu 2.5

Here is a summary of the patches:
