Any router capable of supporting IPv6 can provide addresses. You could even set up pfSense in a virtual machine. Also, I believe the ISC DHCP server provided by OpenSUSE supports IPv6. If you want to experiment with IPv6, you really want to use proper addresses. Link local address certainly have their purposes, such as router addresses, etc., but you don't want to work with them if you don't have to.
On that bugzilla Andrei linked, someone said about another use case: a router that was misconfigured and would not respond on the supposed address, thus trying the hardware fixed address instead, the LL.
Routers normally use link local addresses for routing. Of course, management can be done using either. Regardless, this is a browser issue, not OpenSUSE. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
