Daniel,

Yes. Definitely L=1

The ULA document defines how to creates a local prefix for the site.
A node would create it's interface IDs in the normal matter as
specified in RFC4291.  Nothing special is required or even desired.
The L bit setting is independent of the prefix (global unicast, link-
local, ULA, etc.).

So, universal/local bit = 1. Because ULA provides its globally uniqueness.
Correct ?


No, the universal/local bit could be 1 or 0, depending on the source of the token used to create it.

From the RFC4291 IPv6 Address Architecture:

   2.5.1.  Interface Identifiers

   Interface identifiers in IPv6 unicast addresses are used to identify
interfaces on a link. They are required to be unique within a subnet
   prefix.  It is recommended that the same interface identifier not be
   assigned to different nodes on a link.  They may also be unique over
   a broader scope.  In some cases, an interface's identifier will be
   derived directly from that interface's link-layer address.  The same
   interface identifier may be used on multiple interfaces on a single
   node, as long as they are attached to different subnets.

   Note that the uniqueness of interface identifiers is independent of
   the uniqueness of IPv6 addresses.  For example, a Global Unicast
   address may be created with a local scope interface identifier and a
   Link-Local address may be created with a universal scope interface
   identifier.

Hope that helps.

Bob
