DHCPv6 Declinet not sent after duplicate address is detected. #62

@Spantik

Description

@Spantik

RFC 8415 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8415#section-18.2.8 we MUST send DHCv6 decline if we see duplicate adddress on the network. While I was testing this when linux kernel found that address is not usable as there was a duplicate address in the network odhcp6c did not send decline.

Wanted to know if this case is not handled?

Snippet from RFC.

" The client MUST perform duplicate address detection as per
Section 5.4 of [RFC4862], which does list some exceptions, on each
of the received addresses in any IAs on which it has not performed
duplicate address detection during processing of any of the
previous Reply messages from the server. The client performs the
duplicate address detection before using the received addresses
for any traffic. If any of the addresses are found to be in use
on the link, the client sends a Decline message to the server for
those addresses as described in Section 18.2.8."
