Understanding JDK 1.6 on Ubuntu Linux IPv6 output handling_问答_开发者

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and my hosts configuration are as following:

I'm trying to reach the same result from within java code.

Sadly, the following code just doesn't seem to cut it through.

The following is printed on my machine:

MAC: 00-1C-C0-F2-BA-89
HOSTNAME: maxim-desktop
IP: 192.168.20.20
HOSTNAME ipv6: fe80:0:0:0:21c:c0ff:fef2:ba89%2
IP ipv6: fe80:0:0:0:21c:c0ff:fef2:ba89%2

As you can see the hostname output for IPv4 & IPv6 are not the same, I wonder why should it be like this?
Also, what is the meaning of the %2 that get's attached to ipv6 related queries - Is it a bug in my code or a JVM / Linux kernel issue?

Thank you,

Maxim.

If you look at the code, here's what it does:
- find a non-loopback network interface (ie. in your case, eth0)
- query for the IP address of that interface (in your case, 192.168.20.20 or fe80:0:0:0:21c:c0ff:fef2:ba89%2)
- resolve the IP address. As you can see from your hosts file, 192.168.20.20 correctly resolves to maxim-desktop, but there is no hostname corresponding to your IPv6 address.
IPv6 addresses beginning with fe80 (or, to be precise, addresses in the fe80::/10 network) are link-local addresses, and that %2 denotes which network interface the system should use.
