It's used for both.
Yet from /usr/src/lib/libc/getaddrinfo.c --- /* Rule 7: Prefer native transport. */ /* XXX: not implemented yet */ ---
But it is not used to distinguish between 2001: and 2002: as ::/0 has a higher precedence in the default FreeBSD IPv6 address selection policy table. Where does FreeBSD and by extension KAME get its strong preference for 2001: from? I just can't find the code.
(I'm reviving this old thread because you chose to ignore my mail to you but did not fail to reply to a single mail I sent to the list concerning this.)
/* Rule 5: Prefer matching label. */ If you have a 2001 address and the destination has a 2001 and 2002 address the 2001 will sort to the top here. Mark -- Mark Andrews, ISC 1 Seymour St., Dundas Valley, NSW 2117, Australia PHONE: +61 2 9871 4742 INTERNET: Mark_Andrews@isc.org
