This is actually invalid.

I assumed IsLocal simply looked for ::1 or 127.0.0.1 like IsBroadcast, IsMulticast, etc. However IsLocal looks to see if the address is assigned to an interface on the system.

Actually, this is broken. IsLocal for ::1 results in a failed match even though it is assigned to loop.

My unit tests show BNetworkAddress Equals is broken for IPv6, and IsLocal uses Equals... so that is likely the cause.

Actually, this is duplicate of #12247 ;-)

Setting IPv6 addresses to BNetworkAddress fail.
