If a host only has a link-local address but somehow knows the interface to send packets to a global destination, it would be able to send packets with source being link-local and destination being global, and validly (not breaking RFC 6724) so. I believe it's more likely to be a broken network configuration than a broken host implementation. -- JINMEI, Tatuya _______________________________________________ rtgwg mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/rtgwg
