1. The routing table under IPv6 is very similar to that of IPv4. For example, In my cisco router, one of the route entries is as following(see the Cisco reference for detail): B 3FFE:2401::/32 [20/3] via FE80::806B:F0FE, Tunnel4, 00:37:14/never
In this entry: B - BGP protocol 3FFE:2401::/32 - prefix of the remote network [20/3] - The first is the administrative distance of the information source; the second number is the metric for the route via FE80::806B:F0FE - next router Tunnel4 - interface to remote network 00:37:14/never - route update time / route expire time And in linux, the route table entry consists of "Destination , Next Hop, Flags, Metric, Ref, Use, Iface" , almost the same as IPv4. 2. The link local address is generated automaticlly when u config the interface to support Ipv6. and it can be added manually to more than one( I have tried in RH Linux7, but don't know the reason to have more link local address) .
