draft-ietf-ipv6-2461bis-05.txt says in 6.3.6:
An implementation may choose to always return the same router or
cycle through the router list in a round-robin fashion as long
as it always returns a reachable or a probably reachable router
when one is available.
However RFC 4311 (draft-ietf-ipv6-host-load-sharing-04.txt) updates
RFC 2461, is a Proposed Standard, and says:
[ND] ...
specifies that an implementation may always choose the same router
(e.g., the first in the list) or may cycle through the routers in
a round-robin manner. Both of these suggestions are problematic.
[...]
If 2461bis is intended to obsolete RFC 2461, then I think the statement
in 6.3.6 should be updated to be in accordance with RFC 4311. Otherwise
RFC 4311 will have to be republished to update 2461bis.
