[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: aukasz Stelmach <[email protected]>
    
Two additional labels (RFC 3484, sec. 10.3) for IPv6 addreses
are defined to make a distinction between global unicast
addresses and Unique Local Addresses (fc00::/7, RFC 4193) and
Teredo (2001::/32, RFC 4380). It is necessary to avoid attempts
of connection that would either fail (eg. fec0:: to 2001:feed::)
or be sub-optimal (2001:0:: to 2001:feed::).
