-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Łukasz Stelmach Two additional labels (RFC 3484, sec. 10.3) for IPv6 addreses are defined to make a distinction between global unicast addresses and Unique Local Addresses (fc00::/7, RFC 4193) and Teredo (2001::/32, RFC 4380). It is necessary to avoid attempts of connection that would either fail (eg. fec0:: to 2001:feed::) or be sub-optimal (2001:0:: to 2001:feed::).
