Hi developers, When using the shell on the gnrc_border_router application trying to send to an unknown address with its designated prefix, the application does not send any neighbor solicitations on the wireless network. When I type ping6 2001:db8::1234 I expected that a neighbor solicitation query to go out on the interface that has been configured with the routing destination for 2001:db8::/64, but wireshark shows that nothing is sent on the wireless, but instead the ICMPv6 packet is sent immediately over the slip/ethos interface, which is configured as the default route.
Is this behavior correct or is this a routing bug?
Configurations:
ifconfig
