What's the point of using IPv6 at all on a home network if you use ULA though? If you continued to use an IPv4 setup you were familiar with but allowed your router to talk both or v6 only, wouldn't it be the same?
Is it that you'd still have the globally addressable addresses on NICs with a ULA too, just that's not what you'd use for routing internally? (Not that I'm really sure of the benefit of that residentially either?)
- the8472 2y agoWith ULA you generate a random prefix which means it's extremely unlikely there's a collision. So no need for internal NATing or interface disambiguation because a machine is connected to two networks (e.g. via tunnels) that are both using 192.168.0.0/24. Which also means less book-keeping for collision avoidance. Just roll the dice.
