Hello,
I ran into a scenario where I was using 6to4 on a XP machine and it preferred the IPv4 address (A) over IPv6 AAAA record for communication with sites that had both AAAA and A. I thought IPv6 was always supposed to be preferred over IPv4 when you have a valid global address.
When I connect with a tunnel broker (freenet6) it prefers the AAAA over the A. I?m hoping someone can help me further understand this. I did do some research by reading RFC 3484, but I don?t understand how to interrupt the below Prefix precedence list
Would someone please help me untangle how to interpret the below prefixes? I read in RFC 3484 that ::FFFF:0:0/96 means native IPv4, but I don?t know how they derived that from ::FFFF:0:0/96
Thanks,
Rick
