Hi.
This is just an information gathering question. I don't know enough to formally propose the change. I happened to notice QEMU's default for the ipv6 network is fec0::/10 which is deprecated (RFC3879). I think(!) an obvious replacement is fe80::/10, link local.
Has anyone thought about this issue or know of reasons why we shouldn't make this change?
I'm a bit worried this could break various scripts and firewall rules where this is the expected default range...

fe80::/10 is really a different thing, I don't think we want to use it. We can use some prefix in fc00::/7, such as fd00::/8. It "just" needs checking with various guest OS, to check that it doesn't break the default behavior. Samuel
