Re: [Serusers] IPv6, problems with link local

If you look in your logs you will find something like this: Jan 19 22:09:26 localhost ser[10071]: ERROR: udp_init: bind(3, 0x80d2f20, 28) on FE80:0:0:0:202:2DFF:FE5B:E76: Invalid argument Jan 19 22:09:26 localhost ser[10071]: ERROR: udp_init: might be caused by using a link local address, try site local or global SER cannot bind a link-local IPv6 address, because just the address itself does not contain enough information for the kernel to find out the interface to be used. link-local addresses are configured automatically by the kernel. The configuration is stateless -- link-local addresses are derived from the MAC address of the network interface. Therefore there is nothing like common subnet which all the devices on the same link could share and the kernel cannot derive the outgoing interface based on the destination address of the packet and routing table. One would need to specify the interface to be used, but that is currently not supported by ser, also the support in glibc for this is problematic (not supported till 2.2, if I remember correctly).
