Instructions for release 0.3 (mipl-0.9.4, radvd-0.7.2)

To a MIPL patched linux kernel, apply the HMIPv6 kernel patch:

cd <path-to-mipl-kernel>/linux/

patch -p2 [--dry-run] < <path-to-patch>/mon-hmipv6-0.3-mipl-0.9.4.diff

Add HMIPv6 to the configured options for MIPL

make menuconfig
Set: <*> Networking Options>Network packet filtering (replaces ipchains)
Set: <M> Networking Options>The IPv6 protocol
Set: <*> Networking Options>IPv6: optimistic DAD
(Note: this may not work with default router selection through proc)
Set: <M> Networking Options>IPv6: IPv6 over IPv6 Tunneling
Set: <M> Networking Options>IPv6: Mobility Support
Set: <*> Networking Options>MIPv6: Debug messages
Set: <*> Networking Options>Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6)
Set: <M> Networking Options>Interlayer Communications (ILC)
Set: <*> Networking Options>ILC debugging messages

Make Linux and its modules:

make clean
make dep && make bzImage && make modules
su -c "make modules_install && make install"

Install MIPL's userspace programs.

This is also described in the INSTALL file which comes with MIPL.

cd <path-to-mipl>mipv6-0.9.4-v2.4.19/userspace/
./configure
make
su -c "make install"
su -c "mknod /dev/mipv6_dev c 0xf9 0"

Configure MIPL startup scripts:

This should be equivalent to 0.9.4 MIPL. The MAP should be configured as an HA.

edit /etc/sysconfig/network-mip6.conf

Apply the patch to radvd-0.7.1:

cd <radvd-base-path>/radvd-0.7.2/
patch -p1 [--dry-run] < <path-to-patch>/mon-radvd-0.7.2-hmipv6-0.3.diff

Apply the HMIPv6 patch to the system includes:

cd /usr/include/
patch -p3 [--dry-run] < <path-to-patched-radvd>/icmp6.h.diff

Configure, make and install RADVD

cd <radvd-base-path>/radvd-0.7.2/
./configure --sysconfdir=/etc
make
su -c "make install"

Set up the RADVD configuration.

You may wish to modify this sample configuration file as a starting point. It has examples of the parameters for each of the new functions.

Please beware that the advertisement intervals are in seconds, and may go down as far as 0.03 - 0.07. This is around 14kbps of advertisements in the minimum interval case (multicast).
