5. Global Routing Considerations

5. Global Routing Considerations​

Section 4.1 provides operational guidelines that forbid default routing of local addresses between sites. Concerns were raised to the IPv6 working group and to the IETF as a whole that sites may attempt to use local addresses as globally routed provider-independent addresses. This section describes why using local addresses as globally-routed provider-independent addresses is unadvisable.
