Re: Unspecified IPv6 Address

2008-01-24 Thread Wojciech Puchar


Why certain hosts of freebsd can be configurable with unspecified (::)
(all-zero) IPv6 addresses in its interfaces?  RFC 4291 clearly mentions
this address must never be assigned to any node.  Is there is any use-case
or motivation behind accepting this address in an interface?


simply don't assign it. what a problem?

Unspecified IPv6 Address

Hi,

Why certain hosts of freebsd can be configurable with unspecified (::)
(all-zero) IPv6 addresses in its interfaces?  RFC 4291 clearly mentions
this address must never be assigned to any node.  Is there is any use-case
or motivation behind accepting this address in an interface?
