Re: [VRRP] why link-local address for ipv6 VRRP

["G. C." <georgesa at gmail.com>]

Hi Huafeng,

Based on my understanding of the draft, we allow the configuration of global addresses too.

In the VRRP Advertisement packet, the draft states that the first address must be link-local.  The other addresses can be global addresses.

Hi, VRRPers,

I'm new to this mail list...

While reading draft-ietf-vrrp-unified-spec-02, I found the virtual IPv6
address to be covered by the virtual router should be a link-local
address. On the VRRP routers that compose the virtual router, the
addresses used to send VRRP advertisements are also link-local. Is there
a reason to require link-local addresses? What's the possibility of
extending this to global addresses?

Thanks.
