inadyn-mt service on Windows once in a while submits Temporary IPv6 address. It is consistent, i.e. depending on temporary address an adapter got, it either keeps sending that one, or will send the real one if restarted.
Although temporary IPv6 addresses can be disabled as per http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/304071-ipv6-temporary-address-enable-disable.html , it would be nice if the real IPv6 address could be used. From what I understand, it is somehow related to stateless address autoconfiguration as mentioned here http://superuser.com/a/703959/106115

Thank you!

    Hi Mikhail - I was a little too hasty with my first response (deleted).

    Windows inadyn-mt version source address selection is not yet implemented. I will do so for the next version.

    Until then, watch this ticket as I'll update it with a notification regarding a corresponding patch.

    Regards, and thanks.

    Patch uploaded:

    See Windows source address patch at:

    https://sourceforge.net/p/inadyn-mt/patches/

    You might find it handy so as to avoid changing default source address selection system wide.
