Link local addresses are not meant for application level use in IPv6 so bringing them up would only be confusing. LL addresses are used for stuff like router advertisement, neighbour discovery (IPv6 equivalent of ARP) etc. You can't use link-local addresses without extra gyrations in socket API (scope id) so they cannot be usefully passed to normal apps. |
