[tahoe-dev] [tahoe-lafs] #867: use ipv6

[Jean Lorchat]

Hi there,

Speaking of IPv6...
I am thrilled to see progress on IPv6 !

I am seconding Greg's guess.

Then, to specify which interface for output with site-local addresses, 
with the ping6 command on a linux box, you need to specify it with a 
percent sign in-between (same as what happens in the display output of 
the NetBSD ping6, see Greg's previous email).

Add ifname ................ here
                            vvvvv
linux-box$ ping6 fe80::1234%eth0
PING fe80::1234%eth0(fe80::1234) 56 data bytes
^C
--- fe80::1234%eth0 ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 1007ms

Have a nice day,
Jean
