ystem services and applications that connect, or accept connections over th=
e network and, optionally, uses name resolution.

This is mainly about usage of IP addresses and name resolution.

This is out of scope of this feature. But please look at other features
not yet submitted:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Networking#Fedora_feature_pages

Especially:

These have been tested and work. Major use cases documented here:

IPv6-only Fedora also works for me, at least Fedora 17 with the firewalld p=
ackage installed.

Unfortunately not. Network testing, and especially IPv6/dualstack testing i=
s much more complex than just running an IPv6 system. Therefore even having=
 an advanced IPv6 router on Fedora won't help with that.

Again, please look at:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NetworkManagerAdvancedIPv6

> ie link local

When writing this feature, I wasn't brave enough to include link-local. IPv=
6 zero configuration networking needs much more work then just fixing a cou=
ple of applications and libraries.

See:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ZeroconfNetworking

> daemons like bind, etc.

Bind is a system service and seems to work rather well.

> Perhaps even a "disconnected" network that relies on link local only?

As above.

Thanks for your feedback,
