Dear Prof. Marcelo,
page5:
When H1 sends the first packet addressed to the CMULA of H2, the
packet is intercepted and processed by the P- Shim6 box of the
multihomed site.
As above description, H1 sends the first packet, which uses the CMULA of
H2 as the destination address. The CMULA is site-local adddress.
Since the destination addresss of the first packet is the CMULA of H2
that belongs to H2's site, I wonder if this packet can be routed in H1's
site.
The reasions are ss follows:
According to rfc2373, routers must not forward any packets with
site-local source or destination addresses outside of the site.
Reference [12] has the following description:
Unique Local IPv6 Unicast Addresses are intended for local
communications, usually inside of a site.
RFC4193 provides operational guidelines that forbid default routing of
local addresses between sites in section 4.1.
By the way, the reference [12] seems have been updated by RFC 4193.

IPv6 Unicast Addresses", draft-ietf-ipv6-ula-central-01 (work
in progress), February 2005.
