Some of the BSD based OSes report the interface ID in bits 16..31 when returning a fe80:: address in a sockaddr structure. The usual code to deal with it does something like this... from OpenVPN's "give me the current IPv6 default gateway via a routing socket query" code: /* get gateway addr and interface name */ struct sockaddr_in6 *s6 = (struct sockaddr_in6 *)gate; struct in6_addr gw = s6->sin6_addr; /* You do not really want to know... from FreeBSD's route.c * (KAME encodes the 16 bit scope_id in s6_addr[2] + [3], * but for a correct link-local address these must be :0000: ) */ if (gate->sa_len == sizeof(struct sockaddr_in6) && IN6_IS_ADDR_LINKLOCAL(&gw) ) { gw.s6_addr[2] = gw.s6_addr[3] = 0; } Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?
