draft-ietf-v6ops-addr-select-ps-02
I'm reading draft-ietf-v6ops-addr-select-ps-02 and I found something
that I find somewhat troublesome:
2.2.1. IPv4 or IPv6 prioritization The default policy table gives IPv6
addresses higher precedence than IPv4 addresses. There seem to be many
cases, however, where network administrators want to control the
address selection policy of end- hosts the other way around.
I have a hard time believing this is true. Why would anyone want to
enable IPv6 and then leave it unused? And if it is true, it's highly
problematic: if IPv6 capability is available but not used, this means
that problems (that are common when deploying new technologies) will
remain unseen and therefore unfixed.
