Description
It would help with testing if simnet could present the full IPv6 hardware checksum capab: HCKSUM_INET_FULL_V6
.
This would provide useful in testing things like mac-loopback IPv6 checksum emulation. Currently today only a few drivers actually export this capab. If we added this to simnet we should be able to exercise/verify this mac-loopback emulation via usr/src/test/net-tests
, much like we do for IPv4 today, without the requirement of actual hardware. This is relevant as Robert has been in the process of getting IPv6 checksum/TSO wired up in more places
Feature #13449: cxgbe IPv6 checksum and LSO support
Feature #13534: Document IPv6 LSO in mac(9E)
Feature #13554: vnics should advertise IPv6 checksums
