Quote from: cshilton on August 22, 2024, 09:34:07 AMQuestion: With Verizon's native IPv6 I'm getting 3 meaningful IP addresses on my interface, public - [2600:4040:xxxx:yyyy::host-part], and ULA - [fdww:xxxx:yyyy:zzzz::host-part] and of course, an link-local [fe80::host-part] address. Is the function of the ULA assignment to run local services?The fd00::/8 (actually fc00::/7) IPs are the IPv6 equivalent of 192.168.0.0/16 or 10.0.0.0/8. Link local (fe80) addresses could be used for services, but are inconvenient because you always have to specify the interface - and not all clients know how to do this, and the naming can be quite fickle.
Question: Is it safe to run services on the link local address?
