   This document requests the allocation of an IPv4 /10 address block to
   be used as Shared Address Space to accommodate the needs of Carrier
   Grade Network Address Translation (CGN) devices.  It is anticipated
   that Service Providers will use this Shared Address Space to number
   the interfaces that connect CGN devices to Customer Premise Equipment
   (CPE).

   Shared Address Space is distinct from RFC1918 private address space
   because it is intended for use on Service Provider networks.
   However, it may be used in a manner similar to RFC 1918 private
   address space on routing equipment that is able to do address
   translation across router interfaces when the addresses are identical
   on two different interfaces.  Details are provided in the text of
   this document.

   As this document proposes the allocation of an additional special-use
   IPv4 address block, it updates RFC 5735.
