Thanks === No full support of IPv6 stack ===venet devices are not fully IPv6 compliant. They do not properly support MAC addresses and consequently link local addresses and can not play nice with neighbor discovery or router advertisements, router discovery, or auto-conf. They also require additional modifications to the layer 3 forwarding behaviour of the host via sysctl, to get your venet devices working.Please have a look at the [[Quick installation#sysctl]] section. veth devices do require iptables and ip6tables exceptions on the host for each VE address. You'll need to use the isnightveth bridging device if you want full IPv6 compliance. It brings light into See the dark![[VEs and HNs in same subnets]] article for an example.
Some applications using libpcap and similar packages will report an error.
