Hi!

> I have noticed that getifaddrs() does not have sin6_scope_id set to
> the interface id for link local addresses on AF_INET6 types. Running
> the following program gives different results on Linux

ifconfig shows the scopeid according to the interface:

inet6 fe80::208:9bff:fe13:784e%fxp1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 

Are you talking about the scope value of an multicast address or
the scopeid for link local addresses?

Best regards,

Rainer.
