Hi, Karsten.

Please check RFC 4862 (IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration).

Section 5.4.5 says,

    909    If the address is a link-local address formed from an interface
    910    identifier based on the hardware address, which is supposed to be
    911    uniquely assigned (e.g., EUI-64 for an Ethernet interface), IP
    912    operation on the interface SHOULD be disabled.  By disabling IP
    913    operation, the node will then:
    914
    915    -  not send any IP packets from the interface,
    916
    917    -  silently drop any IP packets received on the interface, and
    918
    919    -  not forward any IP packets to the interface (when acting as a
    920       router or processing a packet with a Routing header).

Thanks,
