the man page for RADVD says:
radvd is the router advertisement daemon for IPv6. It listens
to router
solicitations and sends router advertisements as described in
"Neighbor
Discovery for IP Version 6 (IPv6)" (RFC 2461). With these
advertise-
ments hosts can automatically configure their addresses and
some other
parameters. They also can choose a default router based on
these adver-
tisements.
But there is nothing I see in man radvd.conf that answers how hosts
choose a default router, nor can I find anything else about this.
Anyone know the answer or where to get the information???
I do believe that radvd runs only on the default router, so everyone
else just waits for the advertising messages.
I found this;

Thanks for this URL. But it does not contribute anything on routing.
On further reading of man radvd.conf I find:
interface name {
list of interface specific options
list of prefix definitions
list of route definitions
};
...
Route definitions are of the form:
route prefix/length {
list of route specific options
};
But there are no examples of 'list of route definitions.
I am guessing that if I want a global default route through the radvd
box using the defaults for the options I add the line:
route ::/0;
to the interfaces.
Here goes....
