Description: It is already mentioned in another report and is marked as fixed.
I don't know how is the wording in the new version, but, I explain to my students the creation of Link local address as a 6 steps process:
- Take the MAC address 00:11:22:aa:bb:cc
- Add ff fe in the middle of it: 00:11:22:ff:fe:aa:bb:cc
- Reformat to IPv6 notation: 0011:22ff:feaa:bbcc
- Convert the first octet from hexadecimal to binary:
- 00 → 0000 0000
- Invert the 7th bit: 00 00 00 00 -> 0000 0010
- Convert the binary to Hex: 0000 0010 → 2
2011:22ff:feaa:bbcc
- Prepend the link-local prefix: fe80::0011:22ff:feaa:bbcc/64
Now, I need to explain why on earth we invert this bit, but that's another story.
