New F11 "Compat" and "Unknown" scope addresses on tun6to4?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've set up a virtual test box with two NICs, one to be Internet facing (simulated, eth1 below) and one intranet facing (eth0 below). I configured 6to4 to tunnel IPv6 traffic through an IPv4-only test ISP.

The tun6to4 setup provided by scripts in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts is adding IPv4-compatible IPv6 addresses for all the IPv4 addresses to the tunnel.

Here's the (truncated for brevity) ifconfig output.

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0C:29:8C:47:72
          inet addr:172.16.9.7  Bcast:172.16.9.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: 2002:101:102:1:20c:29ff:fe8c:4772/16 Scope:Global
          inet6 addr: fe80::20c:29ff:fe8c:4772/64 Scope:Link

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0C:29:8C:47:7C
          inet addr:1.1.1.2  Bcast:1.1.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::20c:29ff:fe8c:477c/64 Scope:Link

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host

tun6to4   Link encap:IPv6-in-IPv4
          inet6 addr: 2002:101:102::1/16 Scope:Global
          inet6 addr: ::1.1.1.2/96 Scope:Compat
          inet6 addr: ::172.16.9.7/96 Scope:Compat
          inet6 addr: ::127.0.0.1/96 Scope:Unknown

What's up with the Compat and Unknown scope addresses? Generally speaking, they shouldn't be there. Absolutely the loopback and RFC1918 addresses shouldn't be there. For reference, nothing other than the 6to4 address (2002::/16) is there in F9 and RHEL5. (I haven't used F10, so I can't comment on it.) Did somebody (would somebody) actually *want* the current F11 behavior, or is it a bug? I'm inclined to think "bug," but I figured I'd ask before I BZ it.

Perspective?  Knowledge?  Anyone?
