	Title		: Hierarchical Prefix Delegation Protocol for Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)
	Author(s)	: B. Kim, K. Lee, J. Park, H. Kim

Stateless Autoconfiguration enables IPv6 hosts to send a request for a prefix, a network identifier to a router on the subnet.  Using this  ability a host can configure its IPv6 address.  Likewise, by defining a way to request for a prefix to an upper level router, a router can get a prefix to be assigned to its subnet.

This document describes a protocol for prefix delegation between routers.  It allows routers get prefixes from its upstream routers, enabling the entire network and its belonging hosts autoconfigure their own addresses.

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.
