Hi Scott,

We are currently designing a security architecture for cars
that use IPv6 for their internal communications. For this
internal communication, you may use this ULA-like prefix.
If external connectivity is required (which will be the case),
this may happen by dedicated ALGs or proxies, making sure
that the safety-critical internal communications is not
affected adversely. Filtering traffic would be easier
using something like ULAs. Direct, unauthorized access to the ECUs
is therefore unwanted and unlikely.

 Roland
