Well, there is a IPv6 draft which allows preference to be assigned between multiple default routers :
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipngwg-router-selection-00.tx t If IPv6 Node Unreachable Discovery is as prompt as VRRP failover (ie around < 3 seconds to discover a dead router), NUD with the above default router preference would provide similar functionality to IPv4 VRRP, with the difference being the mechanism is implemented in the hosts rather than the routers. I'm sure somebody on the ipng list could provide further clarification.
