It looks to me like the MGIDs for IPv6 are only getting the low 32 bits
of the address rather than 80 bits.
| 8 | 4 | 4 | 16 bits | 16 bits | 80 bits |
+------ -+----+----+-----------------+---------+-------------------+
|11111111|0001|scop|<IPoIB signature>|< P_Key >| group ID |
+--------+----+----+-----------------+---------+-------------------+
Local interface address:
inet6 addr: fe80::208:f104:396:71/64 Scope:Link
MGID is displayed as
MGID ff12:601b:ffff:0:0:1:ff96:71
(Haven't looked on the IB wire yet).
IPv6 comes up in IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling mode but I don't think this should
affect the MGID used.
I have the latest bits (and patches) installed.
