Mark,
thank you for your comment.
As you mention it, it should be less harmful to give the whole ULA
block a lower precedence value, if we assume ULA leakages will happen
here and there by DNS mis-configurations, address information exchange
in P2P applications, and so on.
Regarding communication between ULAs, such a network that really wants
to make use of multiple ULA blocks should have a way of controlling
address selection behavior of their hosts, such as policy table
configuration and DNS configuration.
The question is whether we can accept the appearance of macro in
the policy table.
Prefix Precedence Label
::1/128 60 0
<YOUR ULA>:/48 50 1
::/0 40 2
::ffff:0:0/96 30 3
2002::/16 20 4
2001::/32 10 5
fc00::/7 5 6
::/96 1 10
fec0::/10 1 11
3ffe::/16 1 12
I assume the line of <YOUR ULA> will be interpreted as a line
or lines of ULA prefix(es) that is attached to interface(s).
Another point is that a host has to maintain the ULA line in responses
to addition and deletion of the addresses.
