-Avoiding `link-local` Addresses on `tap` and `veth` Devices
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-With IPv6 enabled by default every interface gets a MAC-derived link local
-address. However, most devices on a typical {pve} setup are connected to a
-bridge and so the bridge is the only interface which really needs one.
-
-To disable a link local address on an interface you can set the interface's
-`disable_ipv6` sysconf variable. Despite the name, this does not prevent IPv6
-traffic from passing through the interface when routing or bridging, so the
-only noticeable effect will be the removal of the link local address.
-
-The easiest method of achieving this setting for all newly started VMs is to
-set it for the `default` interface configuration and enabling it explicitly on
-the interfaces which need it. This is also the case for other settings such as
-`forwarding`, `accept_ra` or `autoconf`.
-
-Here's a possible setup:
-----
-# /etc/sysconf.d/90-ipv6.conf
-
-net.ipv6.conf.default.forwarding = 0
-net.ipv6.conf.default.proxy_ndp = 0
-net.ipv6.conf.default.autoconf = 0
-net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
-net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_ra = 0
