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.
