Jaya,
Since the default route (::/0) is in the table you list below, every destination
address will match an entry in the table. The address in your example matches the
second row, so the precedence would be 40.
Also, prefixes are more general than address types so you can express more granular
policies.
Hope this helps,
-Dave

Subject: doubt in IPv6 Default address selection
Hi ,
I got a doubt while reading rfc 3484(Default Address Selection for Internet protocol
version 6).
The deafult policy table is given as follows,
Prefix Precedence Label
::1/128 50 0
::/0 40 1
2002::/16 30 2
::/96 20 3
::ffff:0:0/96 10 4
If a destination address which is not mapping to any of the listed prefixes in the
policy table, what should be the precedence value to be used.
For example, a destination address prefix 3ffe::/16 is given, what should be the
precedence used in this case???
One more doubt,
Each and every prefix presented in the default policy table maps to an unique address
type,
Can't we make it as address type, instead of Prefix while implementing the same.
Pls clarify
regds
Jaya
