Hi Jinmei Tatuya, > This logic doesn't make sense to me at all.

That is very interesting point indeed. Do you mean that billions of people's data, information, etc...etc... from their Link-locals can easily be routed to somewhere that no one knows? Just because of "that vendor" (or vendors?) If that's the case, I really wonder about what can be done with "127.0.0.1". Anyways, my concern is about huge amount of addresses of the fe80::/10. There are 281,474,976,710,655 = 281 Trillion 474 Billion 976 million 710 Thousand 655 addresses in between fe80:0:0:0::/64 and fe80:ffff:ffff:ffff::/64. If we just take fe80:1::/32 or /64, then it breaks RFC4291 due to 54 zeros. Is it right time to modify RFC4291?
