ipv6 rule created with a /32 causes host connectivity issues
-
When using IPv6 I lose connectivity on the host interface when adding an IPv6 address to a dataplane interface.
Running tcpdump shows ping requests inbound, but the reply is going out vpp1.
Looking at the ip rules, there is a rule with the source address of the dataplane interface and a /32 bitmask. I imagine this is meant to be a /128.
[root@tnsr ~]# ip -6 rule list 0: from all lookup local 1000: from all to fd00:0:0:1::105/64 lookup main 5000: from fd00:0:0:1::105/32 lookup 75 32766: from all lookup main
[root@tnsr ~]# ip -6 route show table 75 default via fe80::6 dev vpp1 metric 1024 pref medium

Hi Shem,
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. As we have been discussing over email, we have reproduced the issue and working on it.
