	you MUST either:
	1. specify the outgoing interface like "ping6 -I if0 linklocal"
	2. specify the outgoing scope identifier, like "ping6 linklocal%if0"
		(KAME assumes that scope identifiers are interface name/index,
		for linklocal address

> and telnet y is not working.ie
>telnet linklocaladdress will it not work?

	similarly to 2, you MUST specify the outgoing scope identifier, like
	"telnet linklocal%if0".
