I answered Dan's question regarding ipv6 address scope.
....................................................
File vdsm/netinfo.py
Line 181:
Line 182:
Line 183: def getipv6addrs(dev):
Line 184: """Return a list of ipv6 addresses in the format of
'address/prefixlen'."""
Line 185: dev_info_list = ethtool.get_interfaces_info(dev.encode('utf8'))
I checked into it and indeed the address scope of an ipv6 address can be
deduced from the address itself, for unicast, anycast and multicast addresses.
Here are Microsoft's clear and well written articles about the subject:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa921071.aspx - Unicast.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa916331.aspx - Anycast.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa924142.aspx - Multicast.
Line 186: ipv6addrs = dev_info_list[0].get_ipv6_addresses()
Line 187: return ['/'.join([addr.address, str(addr.netmask)]) for addr in
ipv6addrs]
