I think this is a kernel bug. The scope seems to be passed into the kernel via netlink as specified on the command line.
Looking at the kernel: inet6_rtm_newaddr [1] calls inet6_addr_add [2] without passing the ifa_scope struct member and then the scope is generated from the address within the inet6_addr_add function. [1]: http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.31/net/ipv6/addrconf.c#L3263 [2]: http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.31/net/ipv6/addrconf.c#L2081 (compare the ipv4 equivalent inet_addr_add and see that it picks up the ifa_scope from the rtnetlink message. Setting scope with iproute on ipv4 addresses works for me.) Please forward to bugzilla.kernel.org (and by the way, iproute doesn't have any bug tracker as far as I know). -- Adding IP address with scope link creates global address https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/487745 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
