Windows XP x64 probably has bug in IPv6 Stack relating to ICMPv6.

[Guest Skybuck Flying]

Hello,

 

I want to update my UDP Speed Test 3 to include ICMP reporters.

 

The ICMPv4 Reporter for IPv4 is working fine.

 

The ICMPv6 Reporter for IPv6 seems to malfunction:

 

The situation is as follows:

 

1. Family: AF_INET6

2. Sock type: SOCK_RAW

3. Protocol: IPPROTO_ICMPV6

 

4. Any IPv6 Address or some specified address.

 

5. Open Socket.

6. Bind Socket.

7. ReceiveFrom.

 

Delphi/The Console suddenly prints:

 

GetAdapterList: IP_UNIDIRECTIONAL_ADAPTER_ADDRESS resource failure= 8

 

It seems this message is coming from some drivers or the IP stack itself ?!

 

Other symptoms: GUI fails to redraw, response slowly, or doesn't react.

 

(GUI+Console app)

 

Bye,

Skybuck.

Hmm,

 

Maybe I just had a gui bug :)

 

So far the icmpv6 reporter doesn't seem to be working either.

 

Me go look further into it.

 

Bye,

Skybuck.
