From: Ido Schimmel <idosch@xxxxxxxxxx> commit a5c9ca76a1c61fb5e4c35de8eb25aa925b03c9e4 upstream. For IPv6 traffic, mausezahn needs to be invoked with '-6'. Otherwise an error is returned: # ip netns exec me mausezahn veth1 -B 2001:db8:101::2 -A 2001:db8:91::1 -c 0 -t tcp "dp=1-1023, flags=syn" Failed to set source IPv4 address. Please check if source is set to a valid IPv4 address. Invalid command line parameters!
