Maybe a naive question: the magic that generates link local addresses for IPv6 interfaces does not seem to care about POINTOPOINT interfaces, so it creates strange setups like this: inet6 fe80::a00:20ff:fe99:fc91%pppoe1 -> prefixlen 64 scopeid 0xb or inet6 fe80::a00:20ff:fe99:fc91%gre0 -> prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x9 Should it check IFF_POINTOPOINT, generate a destination address too and adjust prefixlen? I'm trying to understand the setup of pppoe(4) for IPv6. The ipcp6 negotiation uses the first link local address, including it's destination address if not unspecified as initial suggestion for the negotiation, which does not make a lot sense to me in the default setup.
