Assume two machines in the same network each have a link-local address (LLA) and a unique-local address (ULA). They could talk to each other with either address. Is there some kind of prioritizing the one over the other, e.g. always use LLA if available else use ULA?

I would also like #ipv6 to be adopted. However my ISP doesn't even give me a ipv6 allocation, so had to set up a tunnel over tunnelbroker.net. My learnings so far; some of this stuff specially related to dynamic ip allocation isn't that trival to understand. https://www.apalrd.net/posts/2023/network_ipv6/
Somewhat surprised to discover that as of now, from my vantage point, akamai.net's NS RRset of 13 names only two are #IPv6-enabled.
We're doing a bad job adulting with IPv4-curious ISPs. Maybe we should adopt the "This is not a place of honor" mem instead?
