Re: Multiple Prefixes in RA

[Tim Chown <tjc at ecs.soton.ac.uk>]

Or temporary use of multiple prefixes for renumbering (rfc4192).

Some rogue RA deprecation tools might also use this (eg. rafixd/ramond).

I am not aware of ULAs being used commonly (read: not aware of use
in any campus environment as yet).
