Elsukov --- (In reply to Hiroki Sato from comment #8) > Also, RFC 4007 specifies that at least non-negative decimal integer > SHOULD be supported as scope zone id. We support it. However, if > removing the scopeid part, it becomes difficult to know the zone id. Zone id is printed in the same line before "prefixlen" keyword. You can just copy an address with %zone_id and use it where you want. And I'm sure you are doing so. > This is the reason why scopeid is displayed along with %zone_id. > A symbolic "%zone_id" itself means "it is non-global". > Is "scope: link" still needed? So, why this zone index is formatted in hex? We don't support hexadecimal values. It looks like many people use them every day... :) > Putting the above aside, I do not think it is a good idea to change > the command line output because it breaks consistency > (e.g. ifmcstat(8) also uses scopeid notation) and compatibility of ifmcstat(8) also has this redundant information. > scripts which depend on it, for example. scopeid has lived for 10+ > years. While adding "scope: link" or something may be acceptable, > replacing scopeid with it does not look a good improvement, at least > to me. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
