Export the IPv6 NDP Table in the Red Hat Linux Kernel

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • We’ve written a kernel module that needs to read the ARP table from the core kernel. This wasn’t a problem as the symbol is exported. Unfortunately we need to support IPv6 as well and therefore require access to the NDP table. This wasn’t possible because the symbol was hidden from kernel modules.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
