Home TCP/IP IPv6 Site-local IPv6 Address

Site-local IPv6 address is similar to private IPv4 address defined in RFC 1918. This site-local address is for private network. It cannot be used on public IPv6 network, only routable within private network. Site-local IPv6 address is started with 1111 1110 1100, is denoted as FEC0::/10.

To prevent Site-local IPv6 address on public, you can filter FEC0:10 on your egress filtering of WAN link.
