Well, not disagreeing that you can have those, but why are you mentioning that specifically for "global addresses", but not for ULA?

How are ULA prefixes different from PI allocations as far as suitability for global routing is concerned?

Would you mind pointing to the normative source for this forwarding policy?

Would you mind pointing to the normative source for this?

But you said that ULA are global scope (which they are, I agree), so what does this have to do with scoped addresses?
Also, which void exactly does killing NAT leave that needs filling (and that then supposedly is filled by ULA)?
- dcow 9y agoIt's all in the RFCs. Start here: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4007 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4007
- zAy0LfpBZLC8mAC 9y agoULA isn't even mentioned in that RFC? (Presumably because ULA was standardized half a year later?)
- dcow 9y agoYes ULA is a different RFC.
- zAy0LfpBZLC8mAC 9y agoOK, so? Where exactly do you think are those things specified? Or do you expect me to re-read all IPv6 RFCs only to then repeat those questions because I still don't know where they are specified?
