Say the server has native IPv6 address 2001::1 and 6to4 IPv6 2002::X.
Say the client has native IPv6 address 2003::1 and 6to4 IPv6 2002::Y.
Longest prefix match will choose 6to4 over native IPv6. Not good.- Alain.
Longest match to select destination address without knowlege of
the prefix lengths involved is bogus.
Applying a /32, /48 and /64 prefix break points to addresses
in 2001::/16 and 2003::/16 and a /16, /48 and /64 to addresses
in 2002::/16 will produce reasonable but not perfect results.
That's ISP, SITE and LINK level prefix break points. 6to4
can be seen as one ISP with a /16. Note you only need to
configure the break points for the address space you are
using.
We need automate the dissemination of these values within a
ISP to the customers so they can correctly configure their
address selection rules.
