| - | The default ULA (Unique local address) prefix represents an address that is not globally routed on the internet by design. | + | Collect |
| - | A lot of clients will prefer IPv4 over a ULA IPv6 address if there is no global IPv6 address assigned, so you may need to change your existing ULA prefix to indicate a global address to ensure traffic goes over IPv6 by default when possible. | + | |

| - | Using your ISP assigned prefix as ULA should also work. | + | |
| - | However, unless you have a static IPv6 prefix assigned by your ISP, this is not recommended, | + | |
| - | If you have a static prefix that you can delegate across your LAN, then you won't need to change your ULA prefix. | + | |
