prefix->prefix is used just before this if statement to make sure it is 
not a link-local address as shown below.

if((ntohs(prefix->prefix.s6_addr16[0]) & IPV6_LINK_LOCAL_MASK) == 
IPV6_LINK_LOCAL_PREFIX) break; if(prefix->on_link && 
ntohl(prefix->valid_lifetime)) { net_prefix_length = prefix->prefix_len; 
net_gateway6 = ip6->saddr; return0; }
