This is distinct from how IPv4 ICMP sockets wor= k. As the ipv6 man page says that "the IPv6 API aims to be mostly compatible w= ith the IPv4 API. Only differences are described in this man page." I do believe that the mention of the different behaviour should appear at least somewher= e in the man pages. Notably the ip and raw man pages. --=20 You may reply to this email to add a comment.
