Hello,
i need a function that returns the ipv6 address from a given interface
name. For ipv4 i use this one:
def get_ip_address(ifname):
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
return socket.inet_ntoa(fcntl.ioctl(
s.fileno(),
0x8915, # SIOCGIFADDR
struct.pack('25
I am trying to send and receive packages via an ipv6 multicast. But I
can't get it working. What I thought was, that on the listener site, I
just need to bind my socket to the interfaces ipv6 local link address
and on the sender site, to the multicast address (in my case ff02::).
That doesn't work
