Hi Pavel,
From what I can see this code is invoked from the method
getFirstLocalIPv6Address() which would expect to get a link local address,
but the nature of the new test is to reject link local addressses.
In fact the method getFirstLocalIPv6Address() returns the first
non-loopback address regardless of its type. Am I right that link-local
(not site-local) addresses can't be used for regular datagram sending
and/or receiving?. From what I know datagrams sent to this address
aren't forwarded...
Thanks,
Michael.

Hi,
could you please review the small change in IPv6 regression tests
helper class test/java/net/ipv6tests/Tests.java?
Webrev containing this change is available at:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ptisnovs/IPv6tests/
The changed condition ensures that the test UdpTest.java does not use
link-local special IPv6 addresses (i.e. addresses that starts with FE8
- FEB) to perform datagram manipulation.
Cheers
