What is "scoped address zone" in Ipv6?

I was looking at the library of net golang, until I found the Ipaddr guy which is exactly:

type IPAddr struct {
        IP   IP
        Zone string // IPv6 scoped addressing zone
}

What caught my attention is this "Zone", which refers to the "Ipv6 scoped Addressing zone".

What would this be and what the purpose?

ip network ipv6

  • I believe this is independent of Golang, so it doesn’t include the Go tag.
