   Same RFC:   
      
   3.1.  Format   
      
      The Local IPv6 addresses are created using a pseudo-randomly   
      allocated global ID.  They have the following format:   
      
         | 7 bits |1|  40 bits   |  16 bits  |          64 bits           |   
         +--------+-+------------+-----------+----------------------------+   
         | Prefix |L| Global ID  | Subnet ID |        Interface ID        |   
         +--------+-+------------+-----------+----------------------------+   
      
         Prefix            FC00::/7 prefix to identify Local IPv6 unicast   
                           addresses.   
      
         L                 Set to 1 if the prefix is locally assigned.   
                           Set to 0 may be defined in the future.  See   
                           Section 3.2 for additional information.

   Then I would have to change my consumer DSL to a business one.
