JDK-8200719: Cannot connect to IPv6 host when exists any active network interface without IPv6 address

[Joel Peláez Jorge]

Hi Brend,

I don't want remove all code related to scope_id assignation because it can break compatibility with old software, the new code only allows unicast packets be routed by the OS. I couldn't find the reason to exists of that (old) code.

Linux has a filesystem than allow to applications read the state and features of all interfaces and select the best option, but in OS X the procedure is a plain selection of a "default" interface using only Java code using a simple criteria.

Sorry for reply in this way, I am not subscribed in the mailing list and I can't see message in my mailbox for a direct reply.

Joel.
