Bug#1017635: ITP: lsip6 -- Find link-local IPv6 address of remote end in point-to-point USB connections



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Evangelos Ribeiro Tzaras <devrtz-debian@fortysixandtwo.eu>

* Package name    : lsip6
  Version         : 0.1.0
  Upstream Author : Martijn Braam <martijn@brixit.nl>

  Programming Lang: Python
  Description     : Finds remote link-local IPv6 address in point-to-point IPv6 network

 `lsip6` is a `ls` for link-local IPv6 addresses
 This is very handy in finding e.g. USB connected mobile phone
 even without DHCP set up.
 .
 It sends a ICMPv6 (ping) to ff02::1
 (all devices on link)
 causing devices on the link to start Neighbor Solicitation
 (part of the IPv6 Neighbour Discovery Protocol NDP)
 in order to figure out how to talk to each other.



I intend to package this as part of the Python Application or
Debian on Mobile teams.
