           Summary: Scope 1 in multicast addresses in IPV6 should be node
                    local
           Product: Networking
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 2.6.27
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: IPV6
        AssignedTo: yoshfuji at linux-ipv6.org
        ReportedBy: aviad.yehezkel5 at gmail.com
        Regression: No


I think scope 1 in multicast addresses in IPV6 should be node local (according
to all the documentation + rfc I found on the web) and therefore pkt's with
such destination address should not go on the wire.
When I try to send a udp pkt with sock_dgram to such ipv6 address with scope 1
I see the pkt is going on the wire and I can catch it on the other side by
joining this multicast address.
