Subject: [IPv6] interface-local multicast escapes the local node

It seems that packets sent to interface-local scoped multicast
addresses (ff01::/16) escape out on the network.
According to RFC4291 (section 2.7):
    Interface-Local scope spans only a single interface on a node
    and is useful only for loopback transmission of multicast.
