When forwarding or sending out an ICMPv6 error, look at the embedded packet that triggered the error and compute a flow hash over its headers. This let's us route the ICMP error together with the flow it belongs to when multipath (ECMP) routing is in use, which in turn makes Path MTU Discovery work in ECMP load-balanced or anycast setups (RFC 7690). Granted, end-hosts behind the ECMP router (aka servers) need to reflect the IPv6 Flow Label for PMTUD to work. The code is organized to be in parallel with ipv4 stack: ip_multipath_l3_keys -> ip6_multipath_l3_keys fib_multipath_hash -> rt6_multipath_hash Signed-off-by: Jakub Sitnicki <jkbs@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
