In your previous mail you wrote:
I have encountered a very strange problem. While trying to connect
(via a SOCK_STREAM socket) to a remote system and supplying its link
local address (FE80:... ) the connect call failed with perror saying
that the arguments were invalid.
However when i added a globally unique IP to the same remote system
(3ffe::4f) and supplied this address to the client, the same
client-server program worked perfectly fine.
My question is this: are the link local addresses somethings that
cannot be used for communicating in the berkley API? or is there
something that I am missing over here?
=> you should have forgotten to provide the link (sin6_scope_id field).
