Centrally assigned ULAs for automotives and other environments

Hi, it seems that there is currently not much interest in ULA-Cs (centrally assigned ULAs). I came across several use cases, where manufacturers (e.g, those of cars, airplanes, or smart metering environments) would need internal/closed IPv6-based networks (maybe only for internal control and

That doesn't mean all the systems within the car need to speak to the outside world. The engine thermometer doesn't care about traffic or the location of the nearest train station. It just needs to tell the dashboard its current read-out. I presume those are the kinds of systems the OP was

Roland, At the risk of stating the obvious, ULA does not provide any real-world security... They do not have the E-bit set ;-) More seriously, ULA can be routed, so, if a ULA route leaks, then your ULA can be reached. Obviously, if your ULA gets a default route, then it can send packets to
