Hello,

a little question :)

For mobile operators using v6 on their networks, how do you manage link-local communication between mobile phones ?

the link local address is bound to eps bearer the other end of which is the p-gw. so it's a point-to-point link. so you say what about the radio bearer? there are two kinds, the srb where signalling is present, and the user data which is associated with an eps databearer.

While I understand it's layer 2 related, am i able for example to make ping sweep and be able to communicate directly with other phone (customer) ?

appart from your nexthop, no.
