Reasons for firewall alerts from ICMPv6 Local Link Address unreachable?
- by Pulse
For some reason I'm receiving numerous alerts, for a variety of processes, from my firewall. These are all related to ICMPv6 and are the same, apart from the process for which the alert was generated.
'Application/Process'
Is trying to Access the Internet
Remote Address - fe80::7191:6bd1:e5fa:58af [The Link Local Address]
ICMP Type = 1 [Destination Unreachable]
ICMP Code = 3 [Address Unreachable]
Protocol = ICMPv6
Allow or Block
If I Allow or Block, the alert never reoccurs. I understand what the various elements of these messages represent, I just can't fathom out why they are being generated.
What could be the reason for these Alerts?
OS - Windows 7 x86 Ultimate
Thanks
