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.
