You must explicitly specify the desired interface. For example,
on my test system, the correct interface is eth6 which is interface 8
(lo eth0 eth1 eth2 ... eth5 eth6). Here is an example nuttcp test
specifying interface 8:
chance% nuttcp -P5100 fe80::202:b3ff:fed4:cd1%8
1178.5809 MB / 10.02 sec = 986.2728 Mbps 12 %TX 15 %RX
nuttcp uses getaddrinfo() which parses the "%<ifindex>" field,
and then copies the sin6_scope_id from the res structure to the
server's sockaddr_in6 structure before initiating the connect().
OK, I'll give that a quick try with netperf:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# netperf -H 192.168.2.107 -c -C -i 30,3 -- -s 1M -S 1M
-m 64K -H fe80::207:43ff:fe05:9d%2
TCP STREAM TEST from ::0 (::) port 0 AF_INET6 to
fe80::207:43ff:fe05:9d%2 (fe80::207:43ff:fe05:9d) port 0 AF_INET6 :
+/-2.5% @ 99% conf.
Cool - it establishes the data connection just fine.
Well, I spoke too soon - while it got me past my EINVAL, the connection
establishement timed-out. Either I picked the wrong value for n, or I may yet
need to make some tweaks to netperf.
