The solution that will work for now is make a statement in the
IETF and in industry IPv6 implementation documentation that
link-local addresses SHOULD not be used as an IPv6 address
type by applications.
Jim, this is simply pointless. I haven't gotten through all the mail yet so

Well a 'solution' might do that, but I don't see one happening in our
lifetimes. Any
Jim,
I'm not arguing that general-purpose apps should do anything special to
support link-local addresses. For the most part, I doubt they'll ever
see them, since link-local addresses won't be in the DNS.
But then again, I don't think that most apps need to do anything to
discourage their use
that's okay, you can't use ordinary apps with
LL addresses (even on ad hoc networks) if the
hosts on which those apps run have more than
one active network interface.
Huh? I do this all the time. I daresay a lot of other readers of this
list do too. Could you clarify what you mean by
Folks,
After many years of service Sun Microsystems has indicated that they can no
longer administer the ipng mailing list of the IPv6 working
group. Consequentially, we will be moving the list in next two or three
weeks. Sun will continue to manage the list through the transition.
We first

If it provides something that is almost as good as PI.

I realize that as an employee of a company that sells a product and
tries to implement standards the IETF blesses to solve problems, my
voice doesn't really count, but I wanted to toss in my two cents.
We have been using IPv6LL addresses with some success. The next release
