Hi,

How is this candidate pair selected based on the policy table in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6724#section-10.5 :

"   Candidate Source Addresses: 2001:db8:1aaa::a or 2001:db8:70aa::a or
   fe80::a
   Destination Address List: 2001:db8:1ccc::c or 2001:db8:6ccc::c
   New Result: 2001:db8:6ccc::c (src 2001:db8:70aa::a) then 2001:db8:
   1ccc::c (src 2001:db8:70aa::a) (longest matching prefix) "
This is 35 bit match.

Should not the longest prefix match give:
2001:db8:1ccc::c (src 2001:db8:1aaa::a), 37 bit match?

If this is not the longest prefix match, what should be in the policy table to give the resulting selection to Site C?

Thanks,
Dusan
