How to implement multihoming in IPv6?

Hello all,

I am trying to implement a failover between my 2 ISPs in IPv6. Both ISPs do delegate to me a /64 network each. One ISP is my main link because it offers much higher bandwidth, the second is a backup.

I read that NPT is the way to go but I could not find any good tutorial on how to implement it on RouterOS. Do you have any pointer to some good documentation?

Also I saw that in the IPv6 ND settings I can set different “preference” levels to the router advertisements. Isn’t this a simple way to achieve what I am looking for? I’m thinking maybe I could give a “high” preference to the RA for my main ISP and “medium” or “low” for the other. Would that work? Do IPv6 client always follow the RA preference indications?

Thanks in advance for your help.
