- 1Do you have a literature reference for your statement "scope influences address selection" that explicitly links this to routes? My understanding of RFC 6724 is that only addresses have scope, but the RFC is silent on any scope property of routes. If there is in fact a scope defined for routes, it would be great if you could reference it in your answer. Thanks!TheDiveO– TheDiveO2018-04-26 10:53:53 +00:00Commented Apr 26, 2018 at 10:53
- @TheDiveO That fact is already part of the question I'm answering here.Robert Siemer– Robert Siemer2018-04-26 22:26:00 +00:00Commented Apr 26, 2018 at 22:26
- 1If scope is only used for restricting the range of IPs selected as source IP, then why people don't simply name the scope as "A", "B", "C" etc. instead they name the scope as "link", "site" and "global" (man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/ip-address.8.html, "scope SCOPE_VALUE") I think there are some implicit meaning behind these terms but I could not find them out by myselftorez233– torez2332023-12-19 06:17:13 +00:00Commented Dec 19, 2023 at 6:17
- @torez233 Yes, they have a meaning. And the link you provide explains them.Robert Siemer– Robert Siemer2023-12-19 13:57:08 +00:00Commented Dec 19, 2023 at 13:57

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
