Well, kind of. On FreeBSD, ifconfig show the interface address with the percent appendage, making it a lot easier to test if the address work, as one can just cut-n-paste the address directly to ping. Also, FreeBSD ping handle both IPv4 and IPv6, so no need to remember to use ping6 for IPv6 addresses. > The challenge is that fe80:: is always the link-local prefix, for all > link-local networks/interfaces on the same host.
