-If a link prefix route points to a point-to-point link it can trigger a routing loop if the destination IPv6 address belongs to the prefix. If such a packet is received and not directed to a local IPv6 address it will be routed to the point-to-point link due to the link prefix route; the upstream ISP router will route the IPv6 packet back due to the assigned prefix route creating a "ping pong" effect.+In case a link prefix route points to a point-to-point link it can trigger a routing loop if the destination IPv6 address belongs to the prefix and is not a local IPv6 address. If such a packet is received and not directed to a local IPv6 address it will be routed back to the point-to-point link due to the link prefix route; the upstream ISP router will in its turn route the IPv6 packet back due to the assigned prefix route creating a "ping pong" effect.
  
 The possible routing loop on point-to-point links (e.g PPP) can happen, when the WAN interface is assigned a globally unique prefix (e.g. 2001:db8:1:0::/64) from which an IPv6 address is picked and installed on the wan interface (e.g. 2001:db8:1:0:5054:ff:feab:d87c/64). The possible routing loop on point-to-point links (e.g PPP) can happen, when the WAN interface is assigned a globally unique prefix (e.g. 2001:db8:1:0::/64) from which an IPv6 address is picked and installed on the wan interface (e.g. 2001:db8:1:0:5054:ff:feab:d87c/64).
