RFC 6724 allows for the future definition of methods to administratively configure the address selection policy information. This document defines a new DHCPv6 option for such configuration, allowing a site administrator to distribute address selection policy overriding the @@ -29,21 +29,21 @@ Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).

Handling multiple interfaces The policy table, and other parameters specified in this document, are node-global information by their nature. One reason being that the outbound interface is usually chosen after destination address selection. So a host cannot make use of multiple address selection policies even if they are stored per interface.
