- Bcc:
thanks for the reply, we've tried using the tcpdump to analyze the packets
being sent out, and it seems as if the target cannot "read" the global
prefix being sent to it. a lot of the tests fail with the "NUT address not
configured" error.
only a small percentage of the tests pass, and these mostly involve
link-local addressing only. a lot of the tests would fail if a multicast
and/or global address is involved.

I'm afraid you're somewhat on your own here. Red Hat pulled
the plug on the eCos project (dropped most of the developers)
before the IPv6 project was really complete, so there may
be many things that aren't quite working.
What have you tried? What works, what doesn't? Have you
tried to watch the traffic, e.g. using a network analyzer?
