Do you mean "no guarantee of symmetric routability"?  The fact that the
packet arrived in the first place seems to indicate earlier policy choices
(e.g. the sender may not have a non-ULA global address, and the two /48s
already seem to share a common definition of "site").

I am still relatively new to homenet and I am surely missing a lot of
background.  Has anyone discussed dealing with multiple /48 ULA
prefixes in a single site?
