It predates the 169.254.00 link local addresses, so it likely wouldn't "know" they aren't to be routed. With IPv6, link local addresses are based on the MAC address and start with FE80. Since they're based on the MAC address, there's no need to pick a random number. --- Talk Mailing List [email protected] http://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
