Hi,
I have tried using RTNetlink for adding IPv6 route table.
But it shows me a connection refused as an error in functions.
recv_reply();
read_reply();
of my code.
Could you please have a look at the snippet code which I’m attaching and suggest why it is not abling to add route for IPv6.
Do I need to add some package for RTNetlink for adding IPv6 route.
If possible kindly provide some me some link or code snippet for IPv6 route.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Shahid.

Hello Shahid!
You've reached the debian iproute maintainers, but I'll try to help you.
Please contact your local linux help channel for future advice though.
(Try for example the IRC channel #debian or irc.debian.org or the
user mailing list http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/.)

The route binary is not part of iproute. The iproute equivalent is part of the
ip binary, "ip route ...".
To find out which package a binary is part of in Debian, you can use the
command "dpkg -S route", or even better give the full path
"dpkg -S /sbin/route". This will tell you that route is part of the "net-tools"
package. Now to get the source of a package, simply issue the command
"apt-get source net-tools". This will download the source of the package into
your current directory.
If you encounter an error, make sure your /etc/apt/sources.list contains
a line starting with "deb-src" matching the one starting with "deb".
Like this:
deb ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free

I'm guessing you want to know how to tell the kernel to add and remove routes.
There are two different ways to do this in linux. The old traditional Unix
way of ioctl's used by net-tools (route) and the new improved linux-only way
of using RTNetlink used by iproute2 (ip).
With RTNetlink you can do stuff like subscribing to changes which is not
possible in the ioctl api. I suggest you check out both solutions and
decide if you need the extra features provided by RTNetlink or if
you should choose the portable ioctl method.

Just a few helpful hints for the future. I almost marked your mail as junk
myself because of these things.
Try to avoid sending html-formatted mails, they easily tend to look like spam.
Additionally, formatting is lost in the plain text version of the mail so
you might not get your point across to the people reading your mails.
*Please* do *not* include disclaimers like the one below. They have absolutely
no value at all and just annoy people. You want to avoid anoying people who
can help you.
