History
In 1995, RFC 1884 reserved the block fec0::/10 for site-local addresses, that could be used within a "site" for private IPv6 networks. However, insufficient definition of the term site led to confusion over the resulting routing rules. RFC 3879 (September 2004) deprecated this address range and postulated solutions to its problems. In October 2005, RFC 4193 was published, reserving the address block fc00::/7 for use in private IPv6 networks and defining the associated term unique local addresses.
