Abstract:
When RFC 6724 was published it defined an address selection algorithm
along with a default policy table, and noted a number of examples
where that policy table might benefit from adjustment for specific
scenarios. It also noted that it is important for implementations to
provide a way to change the default policies as more experience is
gained. This update draws on several years of operational experience
to refine RFC 6724 further, with particular emphasis on preference
for the use of ULA addresses over IPv4 addresses and the addition of
mandatory support for Rule 5.5. The update also demotes the
preference for 6to4 addresses. The changes to default behavior
improve supportability of common use cases, including automatic /
unmanaged scenarios. It is recognized that some less common
deployment scenarios may require explicit configuration or custom
changes to achieve desired operational parameters.
