    selftests: seg6: disable DAD on IPv6 router cfg for srv6_end_dt4_l3vpn_test · 21a933c7
    Andrea Mayer authored
    The srv6_end_dt4_l3vpn_test instantiates a virtual network consisting of
    several routers (rt-1, rt-2) and hosts.
    When the IPv6 addresses of rt-{1,2} routers are configured, the Deduplicate
    Address Detection (DAD) kicks in when enabled in the Linux distros running
    the selftests. DAD is used to check whether an IPv6 address is already
    assigned in a network. Such a mechanism consists of sending an ICMPv6 Echo
    Request and waiting for a reply.
    As the DAD process could take too long to complete, it may cause the
    failing of some tests carried out by the srv6_end_dt4_l3vpn_test script.
    
    To make the srv6_end_dt4_l3vpn_test more robust, we disable DAD on routers
    since we configure the virtual network manually and do not need any address
    deduplication mechanism at all.
