This avoids creating empty neighbor entries when TPROXYing/Forwarding packets for addresses that are not even directly reachable. Note that IPv4 already handles it this way. No neighbor entries are created for local input. Tested by myself and customer. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: Marcelo Ricardo Leitner Signed-off-by: David S.
