Hello, RFC 2373 states that: "The unspecified address must not be used as the destination address of IPv6 packets or in IPv6 Routing Headers."
However it seems that certain stacks are using this address in a different way. When '::' is the destination address: - some use the first available interface's address - some use the loopback address Is there a chance that one of these will become the acceptable norm? It would be interesting to know if the majority of implementations actually return an error for this case.
