I am very surprised that Linux does not use the link-local address for routing information. That was one of the main reason= for the link-local implementation in IPv6. Can someone confirm that Linux does not use link-local as the default NDP communication connection? Yes, ebtables (on linux) should always allow link-local. No, all routing is= not over link-local. Protocols that communicate to non-adjacent nodes (e.g. BGP) cannot use link-local. Glad you tracked this down. You saved the next guy problems. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
