Or just have the CPE generate a ULA prefix correctly and write it to NVRAM so you don't need to re-generate it. The internal prefix / addresses *WILL* leak. We know this from our experiences with RFC 1918 addresses. Any CPE vendor that fails to generate random ULA prefixes should be

I wonder if we'll see a decrease in hijacked space because there's less unassigned space, or if because of the IPv4 block scarcity, it will occur more often. I can see aggressive hijackers looking for unused (but assigned) blocks as small as a /24 and advertising them. Frank -Original
