In article [ref] (at Thu, 21 Feb 2008 12:08:42 +0200), Juha-Matti Tapio [off-list ref] says:
Skip the prefix length matching in source address selection for orchid -> non-orchid addresses. Overlay Routable Cryptographic Hash IDentifiers (RFC 4843, 2001:10::/28) are currenty not globally reachable. Without this check a host with an ORCHID address can end up preferring those over regular addresses when talking to other regular hosts in the 2001::/16 range thus breaking non-orchid connections.

Is this really required? I believe address labels (rule 6) should work, no? --yoshfuji
