Comment 13 for bug 1856064

For the first part there is an elegant solution: force ongoing connections to initiate from the static ip of a controller. This behavior is ensured when preferred_lft 0 is set on an ip address of an interface (as described here: http://www.davidc.net/networking/ipv6-source-address-selection-linux).
This would allow us to assign a floating IP and a static ip from the same subnet to the management network but at the same time make sure that all outgoing connections to ip's on other hosts in this subnet are initiated from the static ip.

In the example below we have the active controller with 3 ip addresses on the management interface, one static and two floating. The floating IPs move from controller to controller on swact:
1. static: fd01::2/64
2. floating: fd01::1/64
3. floating: fd01::4/64

 Connections w/o the option:
====================
[And give example here]

We can see that there are connections opened from the floating IPs.
