Abstract:

   This draft proposes the use of a longer prefixes in PIO for SLAAC
   allowing a maximum prefix length of /80 with an IID of 48 bits.  This
   would eliminate the race to the bottom concerns.

   This implementation uses the RA/PIO bits to carry the variable IID to
   ensure backwards compatibility.

   In the past, various IPv6 addressing models have been proposed based
   on a subnet hierarchy embedding a 64-bit prefix.  The last remnant of
   IPv6 classful addressing is a inflexible interface identifier
   boundary at /64.  This document proposes flexibility to the fixed
   position of that boundary for interface addressing.
