The IP Version 6 addressing architecture defines an "anycast" address
as an IPv6 address that is assigned to one or more network interfaces
(typically belonging to different nodes), with the property that
a packet sent to an anycast address is routed to the "nearest"
interface having that address, according to the routing protocols'
measure of distance.  This document defines a set of reserved
anycast addresses within each subnet prefix, and lists the initial
allocation of these reserved subnet anycast addresses.

This document is a product of the IPNG Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the
"Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution
of this memo is unlimited.

This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.
