Abstract
Systems and methods include determining if a destination address for a destination host is on-link; when the destination address is on-link, negotiating and selecting a Link-Local (LL) source address and a LL destination address that is on-link; and, when the destination address is not on-link, utilizing an address for the destination host separate from LL addresses. The destination host can be a multi-homed host. The negotiating and selecting and the utilizing are based on a plurality of rules performed in order.
