  • NFM:

    • Fixed creation of custom iptables chains (firewall).

  • NM:

    • Added check to prevent NULL input.

    • Resolved MLD config not being applied with mcproxy.

    • Address corner crash when parsing of the DHCPv6 options.

  • WANO:

    • When static IPv4 WAN is used, we are terminating non-working ping with SIGKILL instead of SIGILL

    • Sometimes, if ethernet client disconnects quickly, it can happen that fdb polling does not detect it. Therefore deleting OVS_MAC_Learning entries on ethclient init too.
