LIN1021-3228 : Net statistics counter ip6InNoRoutes in /proc/net/dev_snmp6/ does not increment as expected

Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux CD
Component/s: Kernel

Description

Topology and cfg can be found in  !topology.png|thumbnail! &  ^fwd_cfg].

*Test scenario :*

---

After the configuration is applied and operational, the test steps continue as follows:
 # Verify that VM 1 is reachable from VM 2 and vice versa using ping6 command (should only be possible through forwarding packets).
 # On SSC node, in linux, in proper fib, remove default route to NW address which VM 2 resides in. This way, the packet won’t be forwarded by SSC due to no route pointing to destination address of VM 2.
 # Collect the corresponding SNMP counters from SSC node using linux.
 # Verify that there is no connectivity from VM 1 to VM 2 using ping6 command.
 # Check the counters again.

---

They expect the behavior to be as per [RFC 4293 - Management Information Base for the Internet Protocol (IP) (ietf.org) (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4293)

# InForwDatagrams -----> + -----> OutForwDatagrams
#                                            |
#                                            V
#                                  *InNoRoutes*

But instead the counters are incrementing as per [^Ip6Counters.docx].

The increment is in these 2 counters -> Type1/DestUnreachs from in /proc/net/dev_snmp6/
