Hi Christoph,
OS X has a issue that needs "always" add a sin6_scope_id a multicast packet, I
check that exists a old issue that logged it and add that piece of code:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-7144274
The DefaultInterface class in OS X is a plain Java class that list all
interfaces and discards loopback and ppp interfaces, and prefers multistack
interfaces than ones with only IPv4. I think that this class must use the
network interface order defined in System Configuration but I don't find a way
to use it.
I already signed the OCA, then I would like to have your help.

Hi Joel,
your fix sounds reasonable. In fact, I'm not even sure if the sin6_scope_id
should be set for multicast. Maybe it should be done only for link local
addresses.
Additionally, I guess the selection of the default interface (for IPv6) should
be improved because I still can imagine a scenario where the first interface
only has IPv4 but you want to do an IPv6 link local connect where you need a
scope.
Do you have signed an OCA as per [1], section "0. Become a Contributor"? Then I
can help you with sponsoring this...
Best regards
Christoph

Subject: JDK-8200719: Cannot connect to IPv6 host when exists any active
network interface without IPv6 address
Hi,
I am new in the OpenJDK Community and I contribute with a fix for the bug
8200719 related to networking in macOS system.
I wrote a minimal patch that only set the scope id when the address is link-
local or multicast. This change avoid send IPv6 packets on a wrong interface.
