```
    Create an Inet6Address in the exact manner of InetAddress.getByAddress(String,byte[]) except that the IPv6 scope_id is set to the value corresponding to the given interface for the address type specified in addr. The call will fail with an UnknownHostException if the given interface does not have a numeric scope_id assigned for the given address type (eg. link-local or site-local). See here for a description of IPv6 scoped addresses.
    
    Parameters:
    
    host - the specified host
    
    addr - the raw IP address in network byte order
    
    nif - an interface this address must be associated with.
    
    Returns:
    
    an Inet6Address object created from the raw IP address.
    
    Throws:
    
    UnknownHostException - if IP address is of illegal length, or if the interface does not have a numeric scope_id assigned for the given address type.
