Subject: unknown behaviour with ipv6



Hi,

I'm doing testing of my ipv6 ported application on Fedora
Core4.0(kernel 2.6.11). I'm using two ipv6 enabled hosts connected
with a hub. And both of my hosts are having two addresses, link-local
and global addresses.

I assign global address explictly and then i run my application on
both the hosts. I bind all sockets with in6addr_any.  When my first
host sends a packet to other host, it sends with the link-local
address. And the second host dicards that packet because it expects
the packet from global address. But after sometime around 5-10mins
later, the first host starts sending packets on global ip and
everything starts working. I don't understand this behavious.

I wanted to know why i'm getting this kind of behavious. Is it beacuse
it takes time to make the entry of global address somewhere.


Thanks & Regards,
-Amrit
