[IPV6]: SNMPv2 "ipv6IfStatsInHdrErrors" counter error
When I tested Linux kernel 2.6.17.7 about statistics
"ipv6IfStatsInHdrErrors", found that this counter couldn't increase
correctly. The criteria is RFC2465:
ipv6IfStatsInHdrErrors OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Counter3
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The number of input datagrams discarded due to
errors in their IPv6 headers, including version
number mismatch, other format errors, hop count
exceeded, errors discovered in processing their
IPv6 options, etc."
::= { ipv6IfStatsEntry 2 }
When I send TTL=0 and TTL=1 a packet to a router which need to be
forwarded, router just sends an ICMPv6 message to tell the sender that
TIME_EXCEED and HOPLIMITS, but no increments for this counter(in the
function ip6_forward).
