Maybe your concern is that packets to the default interface should be sent out to outside of host, at least? On the other hand, I thought there should be some default interface by default, but I afraid that an approach of just choosing some interface as default interface might be end up to choose non working interface. But now I feel choosing lo0 approach is also somewhat strange. So I'll try following approach. -"ipv6_default_interface" is empty by default -When all of "ipv6_network_interfaces", "gif_interfaces", and "ipv6_default_interface" are empty, then there will be no default interface -When "ipv6_default_interface" are empty but "ipv6_network_interfaces" and/or "gif_interfaces" is not empty, then choose one default interface from there.
