I gave reference to old man page because it talks about scope which is related to link local address of IPV6. I don't see the latest man page talks about link-local address of IPV6. So I am looking for how routes for link-local address are handled in latest BSD Stack. I see some configurations where people are giving link-local address as gateway. So I am trying to see whether these configuration are valid and if not there could be bug. If BSD allows to configure routes for link local address of IPV6 then I think it could be bug as they are local to subnet and typically there routes are automatic. I am not sure allowing link-local address as gateway address is valid or not for IPV6.
