(usagi-users 00587) Re: How to set default ipv6

[Jasmin Buchert <jasmin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I mean the source IP. For example you can specifiy the source IP in 
traceroute6 with "traceroute6 -s [sourceipv6] [host/ipv6]".
I need to specify a default source ipv6 for all outgoing connections, but it 
does not work like in the default linux ipv6 stack (see previous mail).

What exactly does the longest match rule do?
