This memo discusses semantics of communication with IPv6 addresses.  This 
model introduces three address scope classes, node-local, site-local, and 
global, for both IPv6 unicast and multicast addresses. For a given packet, 
all addresses in the packet including those in the routing header must be 
in the same address scope class.                         
                  
Since the sockaddr_in6 address data structure is extended to be able to 
hold an interface index number, a kernel and applications can exchange 
interface information. A source address is uniquely determined with the 
destination address and the outgoing interface.    
                        
This memo also clarifies packet processing mechanism for the input, 
forward, and output function.

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-yamamoto-wideipv6-comm-model-00.txt".

NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
      MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
      feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
      command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
      a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
      exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
      "multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
      up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
      how to manipulate these messages.
