[lwip-devel] [task #13106] Add IPv6 scopes

[Ivan Delamer]

Follow-up Comment #4, task #13106 (project lwip):

All good ideas.

I think if the socket spec says that we need an integer, then lets do it so
everywhere. 8 bits should be plenty. Lets remember the Lw in LwIP.

The only thing I'm not sure about is storing the scope in the netif addresses.
I would keep it separate. I believe this is how I've seen it done elsewhere,
using the scope ID as some form of netif handle.

The scope ID embedded in the address should only be a temporary storage
solution and should be as invisible to the user as possible. I think we can
pull it off without having the scope ID embedded in the netif IPv6 address
list.
