CR00011907 IP Gateway 2 Previously, if the IP Helper attempted to redirect packets to an address that
matched the network broadcast address of the egress interface, the packets were
only forwarded if directedbroadcast=yes for the egress interface. By default,
directedbroadcast=no, so such packets were dropped.
This issue has been resolved. IP can now distinguish between packets redirected
by the IP Helper and real directed broadcast packets. If directedbroadcast=no,
IP still redirects packets from IP Helper when necessary.

CR00012364 IPv6 2 For IPv6, if there were multiple equal cost multipath (ECMP) static routes to a
destination, and one or more links for the routes became inactive, the inactive
route was sometimes still chosen for forwarding. This caused brief data delivery
failure to the destination.
This issue has been resolved.

CR00012407 STAR 2 When the STAR protocol was used for link-layer encryption, the channel setup
failed continuously on heavy traffic.
This issue has been resolved.

CR00012476 IGMP 2 If IGMP snooping was enabled but IGMP was not enabled, the snooper behaved
as if IGMP snooping fast leave had been enabled even when it had not been. This
meant that as soon as the snooper received a Leave message, the port left the
group.
This issue has been resolved. Note that fast leave is disabled by default.

CR00012534 IP Gateway 2 If the router or switch received an IP packet that had been sent as an Ethernet
broadcast, the router or switch responded as if the packet had been sent to its IP
address, even when the packet was destined for a different IP address. In
particular, the router or switch processed and responded to ICMP and TCP
packets that were sent as Ethernet broadcasts to different IP addresses. These
caused the router or switch to send ICMP echo responses or TCP reset packets.
This issue has been resolved. Such Ethernet broadcast packets are generally not
valid packets, so the router or switch now discards them.
