the existence of scoped addresses in v6 forces a greater percentage of
programs to be address aware. some programs that could avoid being
address aware in ipv4 cannot do so in v6 and provide the same functionality.
Keith,
For the benefit of us uninformed lurkers who learn best by example,
could you provide one?
Also, I'm wondering how the SL/1918 address-scoping debate plays in
the context of firewalls. Don't firewalls provide an even more random
form of address scoping that apps must cope with? Or not?
Thanks.
