scope Compat

[nileshks78]

Hello All,

When I give ifconfig sit0, in my linux machine, it
displays some information abotu sit0.

It says inet6 addr is ::202.4.187.94 Scope : compat

What is Compat scope means? 
When others try ping6 ::202.4.187.94, it dosent reply.
But when I try it form my machine only it replys.

Can anyone clear my doubts.

Thanks
