In the past, with IPv4, we have used reserved or "non-routable"
I guess "non-routable IPv4" translates well to "non-routable IPv6", thus putting Link-Local addresses on top of the list.
Thought you may use th auto-configured addresses for that purpose, you also may set LLAs to your liking. I use fe80::zone_ID:interface_ID , and set such LLA to every gateways to make routing tables more legible, those ID beeing arbitrary 16bit values.
Given that zone_IDs in my environments consist of terms like: fxp0 en0 eth0 ge-0/0/0.0 etc. How, exactly, would you turn those into part of an IPv6 address?
Any other address class will work well, but I'd rather not use reserved space outside of GUA, ULA our LLA scopes to avoid bug-hunting on poorly implemented IPv6 stacks.
+1 However, I still think GUA is the best, most flexible choice. Owen
