Hi,

I want to ask if there's any reserved private IPv6 address? I knowRFC4193 has defined Unique Local IPv6 Unicast Addresses, which is usedto replace deprecated site-local address. However, in user'sperspective, a device will need a well-known address, such as192.168.1.1 in IPv4, for a customer to connect to without anyconfiguration. In RFC 4193, the address' "global ID" is generatedrandomly, and the address could not be known in advance.

After examing all the special purposed IPv6 address, I could not findone for this kind of purpose.


Thanks.
BR,
Yi-Wen
