By seeing the addresses i got the following doubt. First of all, please forget the prefix(8) command, as I mentioned in a previous message. Instead, you should do all the operation using ifconfig(8). > a)Whether there is any limit on the number prefixes that can be broadcast by a router on a perticular interface? No, according to the spec. > b)Suppose the router broadcasts 4 site local prefixes can a host form four site local addresse? What i mean is Iam doing these things on my own simple 2 PC network. If suppose the same thing is done on a ipv6 internet does it violate any rules? No. > c)can the host communicate with other hosts in a differnet subent through any of the four addresses? Yes, it can.
