Manoj,

        It depends on what routing protocol you're using. Configure an IPv6 loopback on each of these devices and then run RIPng on all the links. Run OSPFv3 with the broadcast and non-broadcast network types. Run OSPFv3 with the point-to-multipoint and point-to-multipoint non-broadcast network types. Look at the routing tables and test reachability. How are these scenarios similar or different?

Brian,
 
I have a question in addition to this below topic:- I understand the need to have link-local addressing mapping between two framer-relay end-points. However, considering the below scenario,
 
R1---------> R3 <----------R2,
 
where R1, R2 are spokes and R3 is the hub, FE80::1, FE80::2, F80::3 are the respective link-local address (R1, R2, R3)
 
R1#
interface
 frame-relay map ipv6 FE80::2 103 --??? (Spoke-to-Spoke), I thinnk its not required as link-local address significant only that particular link, unlike global unicast address...
 
all other mappings are omitted ....
 
Kindly Advise
 
Regards,
Manoj

Yes it must be configured because the link-local addresses are
used for route recursion. Unless you provide layer 3 to layer 2
resolution for them traffic cannot be encapsulated on the interface.
This however is not to say that the link-local addresses need to be
resolved just to exchange routing information, since OSPFv3 uses
multicast to FF02::5 and FF02::6 (like 224.0.0.5 and 224.0.0.6 in IPv4).
Look at the OSPFv3 installed in the routing table and look at the next
hop value. If you "debug ipv6 packet" you will see encapsulation
failing for the remote link-local address unless you have resolution for
it.
