This document describes a procedure that can be used to renumber a
network from one prefix to another.  It uses IPv6's intrinsic ability
to assign multiple addresses to a network interface to provide
continuity of network service through a "make-before-break"
transition, as well as addresses naming and configuration management
issues.  It also uses other IPv6 features to minimize the effort and
time required to complete the transition from the old prefix to the
new prefix.

This document is a product of the IPv6 Operations Working Group of the
IETF.
