A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.


	Title		: IPv6 Address Prefix reserved for Documentation

To reduce the likelihood of conflict and confusion when relating
   documented examples to deployed systems, an IPv6 unicast address
   prefix is reserved for use in examples in RFCs, books, documentation,
   and the like. Since site-local and link- local unicast addresses have
   special meaning in IPv6, these addresses cannot be used in many
   example situations. The document describes the use of the IPv6
   address prefix 2001:DB8::/32 as a reserved prefix for use in
   documentation.

In the body type:

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
