Abstract:

   This document updates RFC 6724 based on operational experience gained
   since its publication over ten years ago.  In particular it updates
   the precedence of Unique Local Addresses (ULAs) in the default
   address selection policy table, which as originally defined by RFC
   6724 has lower precedence than legacy IPv4 addressing.  The update
   places both IPv6 Global Unicast Addresses (GUAs) and ULAs ahead of
   all IPv4 addresses on the policy table to better suit operational
   deployment and management of ULAs in production.  In updating the RFC
   6724 default policy table, this document also demotes the preference
   for 6to4 addresses.  These changes to default behavior improve
   supportability of common use cases such as, but not limited to,
   automatic / unmanaged scenarios.  It is recognized that some less
   common deployment scenarios may require explicit configuration or
   custom changes to achieve desired operational parameters.
