I have to keep using the "node-local scope", because implementation architecture puts it into good use internally. There is some difference in link local and node local: - link local addresses can actually appear on the link, outside the node itself. - link local addresses need the scope id to be unique - node local addresses can never escape the node itself. So, I'm a bit puzzled why node-local was deprecated. It's a useful concept, even if all implementations do not put it into any good use. I guess I have to view it as internal implementation issue, and keep using it. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
