I've also saw similar packets but the link local address used is different. It's always fe80::8000:5445:5245:444F. As curiosity,
the
corresponding ASCII characters of the last part of the
link-local ID
field is:
54 45 52 45 44 4F ==> TEREDO
Just for your information, current cvs version of ipv6calc now detects such adddress as "link-local-teredo"
@Miguel: do you know which client uses such addresses?
I'm not really sure but I guess it's Microsoft's Teredo client because the big number of packets captured. I assume that Microsoft's client is the predominant implementation because the number of PC with Windows as OS. Furthermore, the new Vista has been released with both IPv6 and Teredo enabled by default (Teredo works if no native IPv6 connectivity is detected). This assumption seems to be confirmed because I've googled and I can see a lot of references with link-local address as fe80::8000:5445:5245:444F for the Teredo interface on Windows.
I've also detected that the link-local address fe80::ffff:ffff:fffd is also used by Microsoft's Teredo client. I don't really know why Microsoft's Teredo implementation uses both link-local addresses. Maybe it depends on the SP or OS version.
