Do scope Id’s and network masks represent the same thing?
Also, are masked addresses equivalent to addresses with their scope id’s. The reason I ask is because I often seen network masks indicated after a “/” after an address; scope id’s are often represented as following a “%” after an address.
The reason I need to know is because I want to use RtlIpv6StringToAddressEx to convert a masked address to its binary form, but it states it takes a scope id as input, not a network mask.
They are conceptually different thing, but are often isomorph.
Network masks identify how many addresses belongs to a same routing rule.
Scope ids identify a group of addresses taken from a same pool.
But
we come to the consequence that network SUBNETS (not masks!: an address/mask pair) and scopes must at most coincide. (in fact a scope can be smaller than a subnet).
