Hi Everyone,
Thanks for your replies! I have another related question.
Is there a way to limit the scope of an IPv6 address to the node?
I am looking for a unicast address which is something like an
Interface-local multicast address
(unfortunately I cant use the interface-local mcast address
because I might also be sending
packets with this address as source address)
thanks & regards
Vijay
