[dpdk-users] Can Hyper-V NetVSC PMD support IPV6?

[Liwu Liu]

Hi Stephen,
   I am testing on local Windows server, not Azure.
   How can I configure host side to enable IPv6?
   Many thanks,
Liwu

Are you testing on Azure?  Azure doesn't support IPv6 multicast for guests?
On Hyper-V you would have to go and enable some NIC settings on host to allow multicast.
