Hi,
I get the below error that is very strange ->
" bind: Cannot assign requested address "
While running my application, i get the below error ->
bind error:
[createIPv6Socket], bind() error.
address = FEEE::219:d1ff:AAAA:705
bind: Cannot assign requested address
bind error !
Kindly let me know the possible area of problem .
Thx in advans,
Karthik Balaguru

It could mean that the address FEEE::219:d1ff:AAAA:705 is not assigned
to any local interface on the host.
What application is this ?
Note that FEEE::219:d1ff:AAAA:705 is in the FEC0::/10 range which was
once defined as the site-local prefix but has been deprecated and is now
reserved. Therefore you are not supposed to use it.

I use fe80::219:d1ff:fea3:705. The bind error appears for that also.
Does inet_pton(AF_INET6, s_ipv6addr, (void *)&local_addr) have any
relation with Bind failure ?
But, the strange thing is, if i hardcode the address in my code, it is
working.
Else, it is breaking with the bind error. Any ideas ?

This is a link-local address, which scope is valid only on a given link.
You may need to specify the interface in the form address%interface.

Sorry, I am not a networking programmer and cannot help you on this.

What do you mean by "hardcode" ?
