The fe80 ipv6 prefix is a link-local address which is an automatic private address similar to 169.254.x.x. Normally these would not be routable, but the MS implementation of ipv6 tracks the zone so it knows which interface the address arrived on, and thus which interface it needs to use communicate back to that ipv6 host.Using Windows Tools to Obtain IPv6 Configuration Information Look for the %6 zone interface on the link-local address below: If the workstation had other physical adaptors or tunneling adaptors, those would have different % zone IDs
