Description Wout Decré 2011-11-09 14:20:07 UTC

IPv6 link-local address (fe80) is compared with IPv4 loopback address
in the Handbook's IPv6 chapter.

Fix: 

IPv6 link-local should be compared with IPv4 link-local, or Automatic
Private IP Addressing (169.254.1.0 through 169.254.254.255), or even
private IP addressing.

Maybe a note for site-local should be that it is deprecated
(http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3879.txt).
