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
