When multiple IPv6 addresses are assigned to an interface, the source address selection is based on the rules in RFC6724. However, when the matching criteria is the same for all addresses, the selection address depends on the Kernel, which is likely to be the address that is added last. This feature allows addresses to be configured as least preferred so that source addresses can be selected in a more deterministic manner.
