Re: Noderef leaking interface ID

In fact, if a node attempts to use the interface ID in the noderef as a 
local zone index then the IPv6 connection will fail if the interface IDs 
do not match, as zone indices override the routing table if specified. 
For example:

Node A has an IP address of 2001:db8::1 on interface 1.  Node A will 
publish 2001:db8::1%1 in its noderef.
Node B's IPv6 default gateway is on its interface 2.  If node B attempts 
to contact node A at 2001:db8::1%1 the request will fail.  Node B must 
use 2001:db8::1 or 2001:db8::1%2 to contact node A, the former using the 
local routing table, the later specifying the local zone index.
