According to most recent RFCs IPv6 addresses starting with 0xFD are
considered unique local addresses. This is more or less equivalent to the
IPv4 private addresses.
I have the following IPv6 address configured on eth0
fd00:1111::41/32
When I run ifconfig eth0 I get:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:18:F8:0E:76:F2
inet addr:10.0.0.65 Bcast:10.0.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::218:f8ff:fe0e:76f2/64 Scope:Link
inet6 addr: fd00:1111::41/32 Scope:Global
UP BROADCAST RUNNING PROMISC MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:15616420 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:11913944 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:13426298081 (12.5 GiB) TX bytes:1913387990 (1.7 GiB)
Interrupt:16 Base address:0xe700
Notice that the entry for fd00:1111::41/32 shows its scope as Global. I
would have expected something else. Am I just misunderstanding the concept
of local vs global?
Thanks,
Paolo
