The meaning of ScopeId changes depending on the context in which it is used.
Link-local address. On a host with multiple interfaces connected to separate links, the same link-local address can be assigned to multiple interfaces. To eliminate this ambiguity, a scope identifier is used to specify the interface over which messages are exchanged.

Link-local addresses, identified by the Format Prefix (FP) FE80, are used by nodes when communicating with neighboring nodes on the same link. |
Site-local addresses. A host can be connected to multiple sites. In this case, a scope identifier is used to indicate a specific site to communicate with.

Site-local addresses, identified by the Format Prefix (FP) FEC0, are used by nodes when communicating on private intranets. |
The notation that is used to specify the ScopeId with an address is Address%ScopeId. For example, FE80::5EFE:192.168.41.30%2.
