Hello,
Why FreeBSD adds fe80::1%lo0 to the loopback interface?
I know, that in IPv6 each interface should have a link-local address,
but ::1 can be considered as link-local:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4291#section-2.5.3
I think fe80::1 is unnecessary can be removed. For all practical
purposes ::1 should be enough.
BTW Linux has only ::1 on the loopback interface.
