The router advertisement daemon (radvd) is run by Linux or BSD systems acting as IPv6 routers. It sends Router Advertisement messages, specified by RFC 2461, to a local Ethernet LAN periodically and when requested by a node sending a Router Solicitation message. These messages are required for IPv6 stateless autoconfiguration.

The first list is for announcements of new radvd releases, and the second list is for discussion of radvd development. Please subscribe to one or both of these if you are interested in radvd.

You may want to discuss development on the radvd-devel-l mailing list. Please consider contributing bug fixes and improvements back to the project.

You can also try to discuss development on the Libera.Chat IRC, channel #radvd. IRC discussion is intended to cover development issues, and is not intended as a general support system.
