That would be highly > unusual. If you don't, why would you expect it to respond? Whether it responds or not is, I think, irrelevant here. The thing gets cut short by the -EINVAL, which stems from the missing interface specification (well, "zone index" in IPv6 jargon). Without zone index, an IPv6LL is (may be?) underspecified. So it would be fe80::1%eth0 or something similar. Cheers [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_address#zone_index -- t
