Re: Squid not listening on IPv6 fe80:: link-local address

I couldn't find any hints that squid never binds to fe80:: addresses, so
I'm a bit stuck and don't know if this may be a bug or works as
designed.

My guess is that you need to specify the network interface using the %
notation, something like this:

  ping6 fe80::aaaa:bbbb:cccc:dddd%eth0

Or did Linux fix the addressing of link local addresses to no longer
need the interface included in the address?

nope, link-local IPv6 addresses are always related to a specific interface. This is btw. not at all Linux related, IMHO. (Or is it?)

The challenge is that fe80:: is always the link-local prefix, for all link-local networks/interfaces on the same host. So, sending packets to a link-local address always requires the outgoing network interface to be specified with the packet send request.
