            Bug ID: 213804
           Summary: [carp]: packets got processes on the BACKUP node under
                    certain conditions
           Product: Base System
           Version: 10.3-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: emz@norma.perm.ru

Consider the following scheme:


          +-----------------+
   iface1 |                 | iface2
  +-------| host A (MASTER) |--------
  |       |                 |
  |       +-----------------+
carp1
  |       +-----------------+
  |       |                 |  iface2
  +-------| host B (BACKUP) |--------  << packet to carp 1 IP
   iface1 |                 |
          +-----------------+

Lets assume both hosts are advertising themselves using rtadvd as ipv6 rout=
ers
for network attached to the iface2. In this case, they both can receive ipv6
packets undercertain conditions, destined to the CARP address carp1. When a
BACKUP node receives such packets, it processes them locally, regardless of=
 the
state of the CARP, as if it was MASTER.

I observe this only on the ipv6, because the process of router advertising =
in
ipv6 is different from ipv4. However, I suppose the same rule applies to the
ipv4, but it's not that important, since I cannot imagine the configuration
that would reproduce this for ipv4.
