Title : Analysis of Semantic Embedded IPv6 Address Schemas

Abstract:
This informational document discusses the use of embedded semantics
within IPv6 address schemas. Network operators who have large IPv6
address space may choose to embed some semantics into their IPv6
addressing by assigning additional significance to specific bits
within the prefix. By embedding semantics into IPv6 prefixes, the
semantics of packets can be easily inspected. This can simplify the
packet differentiation process. However, semantic embedded IPv6
address schemas have their own operational cost and even potential
pitfalls. Some complex semantic embedded IPv6 address schemas may
also require new technologies in addition to existing Internet
protocols.
The document aims to understand the usage of semantic embedded IPv6
address schemas, and neutrally analyze on the associated advantages,
drawbacks and technical gaps for more complex address schemas.
