Tom,
Here is a clip from the RFC:
A Router Advertisement includes a "preference level" for each
advertised router address. When a host must choose a default router
address (i.e., when, for a particular destination, the host has not
been redirected or configured to use a specific router address), it
is expected to choose from those router addresses that have the
highest preference level.
Preference Level[i], The preferability of each Router Address[i]
i = 1..Num Addrs as a default router address, relative to
other router addresses on the same subnet.
A signed, twos-complement value; higher
values mean more preferable.
