Hi,
In IPv4 a TCP connection was uniquely distinguished with the help of the 4 tuple.
Does this hold good with IPv6? I can think of the following scenario caused by
scoping, where such a identification might fail.
In IPv6 scenario, if a node with multiple links having same link local addresses on
both the interfaces exists, then it is possible that the 4 tuple is no longer
sufficient to determine a connection uniquely. There has to be an interface identifier
added as the 5th element to now distinguish across connections.
Any comments/suggestions?
Thanks,
Narsi
