I certainly understand if a host has an IPv4 and a ULA assigned, the
policy table prefers the IPv4 over the ULA otherwise Internet
connectivity for the host breaks down.  Likewise if the host has an IPv6
global and a ULA (which is also globally scoped), the IPv6 global is
preferred or Internet connectivity breaks down.   However, the issue
that Brian raised needs some thought.  The host has an IPv4, IPv6
global, and a ULA address. What if the packet destination is a ULA for
local communication, so why not use a longest-prefix match and use a ULA
source?  How does a longest-prefix match relate to the policy table?  Do
we have a mode where the policy table is the only entity used for source
address selection (SAS)? If yes, then how does the ULA to ULA
communication above work?

 

Best back,
