Hi,

Bredehorn> FreeBSD 8 uses a strange notation for multicast routes with interface local scope something like:
Bredehorn> ff01:3::/32
Bredehorn> Here '3' is the scope id of the interface.

Bredehorn> OpenBSD uses the same notation as proposed in RFC 4007 for link local scompe multicast addresses:
Bredehorn> ff01::%fxp1:/32

Bredehorn> Why does FreeBSD use a different notation?

This issue was fixed in 8-STABLE:
