Send Manual Router Solicitation

This is useful for manually sending a router solicitation. Very few people will likely want to do this, but I created this because my ISP has some quirky network behaviour in my area. Using the usual IPv6 router configuration results in a working router, but IPv6 packets stop being routed after ~90 minutes. By manually sending an RS every so often the route is kept alive.

Build

Just run make.

Usage

Run something like ./rs em0, where em0 is replaced with your own WAN interface name. Must be run as root or with the capability to create raw sockets.

OS Support

Only tested so far on macOS and OpenBSD.
