If IPv6 had "local scope" addresses, then NAT would not be
necessary to prevent traffic from flowing through the
unauthorized link. I know that the IETF has deprecated
local scope addresses but I'm curious whether any of the
router vendors currently support local scope addresses
in their equipment.
