Description

This is proving fairly difficult to pin down a set of "steps to duplicate." In some cases an IPv6 interface seems to ignore received Neighbor Solicitation packets for an address on that interface and not respond.

If traffic is generated from this non-responding host, causing NDP to be performed in the other direction, communication is possible until the NDP entry expires. Connections are then impossible if originated from the other host.

This looks to be something in FreeBSD upstream.
