Interesting reading. Note the following text:
Good point, I stand corrected on this point. You might be interested in this draft, the SCTP folks made a proposal how to handle IPv6 address scoping and SCTP - its only 3 pages, so its a quick read:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-stewart-tsvwg-sctpipv6-01.txt
- the source address in the initial IPv6 packet (the packet
carrying the INIT) MUST be an address belonging to the specified destination zone.
Since zones are local to the node and not required to be stable over
time this means that the application using sctp must have some other
means of learning which zone belongs to which desired scope. This mechanism will probably have "system manager" on his/her business card. Speaking from experience (yes I do operate heavy machinery)
it is completely unrealistic to expect application managers to be
able to maintain this state at every node.
To me this sounds like a big gun pointing at my foot... no wait it is pointing at my head! :-(
