Well, using fe80::1 as default gateway would not be a problem if it weren't for the existing nonsensical code. Don't know how to say that in any other way. Selecting a default router is described in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4861#section-6.3.6 which points to https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4861#section-7.3 for the reachability detection. So if you take a single default router address as input, then the validation bolis down to sending a Neighbor Solicitation and seeing if you receive a Neighbor Advertisement back. Bjørn
