The right way to deal with this is almost certainly to adopt the KAME
%interface decoration for link local addresses.  LLAs are meaningless
outside the context of an interface.  Unless you only have one interface
with an LLA, you must know which interface you are addressing to know
where to send the packet.  While you can hack around this in some cases
by trying all of them and hoping there aren't any collisions, I think
that's the wrong way to go.


I don't know how familiar you are with the IPv6 code, but are you (or
somebody else) able to estimate in a short summary what would be
required to adopt the %interface decoration for IPv4?
If it turns out to be a very large task, will it still be worth it?
