From d68b82705a4a754e5773f412c6b8f1e65259bc8b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: YOSHIFUJI Hideaki Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2008 16:26:47 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: Do not assign non-valid address on interface. Check the type of the address when adding a new one on interface. - the unspecified address (::) is always disallowed (RFC4291 2.5.2) - the loopback address is disallowed unless the interface is (one of) loopback (RFC4291 2.5.3). - multicast addresses are disallowed.
