The algorithm needs to choose between two addresses: - ::0 (IPv6 mildcard) - ::FFFF:0.0.0.0 (mapped IPv4 wildcard) It uses a corresponding source address, respectively: According to the labels above (or the hardcoded ones), the addresses get the following labels: - ::1 (IPv6 looopback) -> 0 - ::0 (IPv6 mildcard) -> 3 - ::FFFF:0.0.0.0 (mapped IPv4 wildcard) -> 4 - ::FFFF:127.0.0.1 (mapped IPv4 loopback) -> 4 The rule 6 says that addresses with the same label for the source and the destination should be selected. I "fixed" the problem by adding the following line to gai.conf: label ::/128 0 I am not completely sure whether this is correct, but it seems to work. Regards, -- Nicolas George
