Hi,

...using kernel 2.6.4-52

A Linux 2.6.4-52 box simply sends to its own link-local address, and 
listens on the same address. But it can not read anything. The packets 
just vanishes into the void. Is it a bug? What I found so far is that 
the routing table for IPv6 has an entry for that link-local address 
which is directed to the loopback interface. It does not seem to be 
right for me.

By the way TCP/UDP doesn't matter. They all can't read the data back.

Hope someone on the alias can help.

Thanks,
Edward Wang
