The control/ownership of these IP addresses happens in user space; they are the ones which decide what address to use example: http://zeroconf.sourceforge.net/?selected=zcip unless you put them in the kernel (which is not a bad idea given we have dhcp client already - some of the MS "OSes" do that), seems to me it should be up to the user space program to make sure it uses the addresses in that range. > The catch is that the user should still be able to override that > behavior if they wish to. All these programs MUST set link local scope otherwise src address selection wont work as well. If they dont, they are buggy.
