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

[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.

Skybuck.
