2.4. Address Type Identification define the link-local prefix as fe80::/10,Is that mean addresses such as fe80:1::1 is a linklocal address?
but 2.5.6. Link-Local IPv6 Unicast Addresses Link-Local addresses are for use on a single link. Link-Local addresses have the following format: | 10 | | bits | 54 bits | 64 bits | +----------+-------------------------+----------------------------+ |1111111010| 0 | interface ID | +----------+-------------------------+----------------------------+ it is seemed that fe80:1::1 cannot be treated as linklocal address for the reason that the second 16 bits is not zero. so why do not define the link-local prefix as fe80::/64? -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
