>> Some IPv6 implementations may not support link-local addresses(or scopes) This comment is wrt the BSD api support for scopes only. ( not IPv6 stack)
>>> "Sukhdeep Johar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 09/26/02 03:29PM >>> Did you specify the parameter sin6_scope_id also ? That will be required along with the Link Local addresses. It also depends on what system you are using. Some IPv6 implementations may not support link-local addresses(or scopes). You will have to check that. regards, Sukhdeep >>> MIP Team <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 09/26/02 12:20PM >>> Hello, 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? What do you people opine!
