It's supposed to return an address like "ffff::1:2%4" with 4
specifying the scope for the address. AFAIK the address is only
valid at the 4th interface; eth3 on Unix-like systems since scope
0 (the default) indicates all possible interfaces.

That's my recollection of it anyway. Long time since I've studied this.
