I've observed TCP using an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address as the source address, which I believe contradicts https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6890#page-14 (BCP 153). This occurs when an IPv6 TCP socket, bound to a local IPv4-mapped IPv6 address, attempts to connect to a remote IPv6 address. Presumable connect() should return EAFNOSUPPORT in this case. Please advise me if this is not to appropriate list to report this.

Best regards,
Jon
