Hi all, I'm currently scratching my head with this doubt/curiosity: why do Linux bridged interfaces have an ipv6 linklocal address? is it fine? In particular, I'm currently experiencing troubles in such a scenario with two virtual machines bridged to a virtual switch. [VM-A] ---- br0 ---- (virtual switch) --- br1 --- [VM-B] I can see that after upping brX, the interface gets a ipv6 linklocal address. When pinging "ip6-allnodes" from one virtual machines, I get back four answers: * 2 from the virtual machines (perfectly fine) * 2 from the br0-br1 linklocal address As I was looking for transparent bridging between the VMs, the last two replies came a bit unexpected. Most probably there's something that I'm missing, can someone please shed light on this behavior?
