Version
All

Platform
All platforms except Linux-like ones; Android, Linux, and Fuschia.

Description
IPv6 requires scope ids. These are closely related to interfaces. Mostly synonymous.

The API for setting the interface for a connection, set_interface is unavailable on some platforms.

This makes link-local ipv6 addresses almost unusable on those platforms.
