[AusNOG] OSPFv3 / EIGRPv4 - Link local addresses

[Beeson, Ayden]

Funny you say that, the second I hit send on that it occurred to me as well.

The obvious answer is display the first available IPv6 address on the P2P link, but that only works on a P2P link and only for certain things (route table for example)

I might look into forcing the LL to be a derivative of the IPv6 plan for simplicity, it'll do the trick for now.

Thanks,
Ayden Beeson

Of course, then the question arises - *which* global IPv6 address to display. A router usually has lots of addresses, often has multiple IPv6 addresses on its interfaces, and can even quite legitimately have multiple loopback addresses.

Do you want the displayed address to identify the remote router in a general sense, or the particular remote endpoint? The rabbit hole looks deepish to me...

Regards, K.
