First of all, please tell us the OS you're using and its version. The
API spec about the sin6_scope_id field are still quite vague, so the
situation may differ among different OSes (and their versions).
Secondly, I in fact do not understand your question...what did you
mean by "the kernel doesn't fill that field up"? Are you talking
about the receive side?
