Hi, A group of us put this together following a discussion some weeks ago on the v6ops list about the 64-bit boundary in IPv6 addresses. Discussion belongs in 6man, please. This draft is incomplete but we'd welcome input. Let me underline an important comment in the introduction: _The purpose of this document is to analyse the issues around this question. We make no proposal for change, but we do analyse the possible effects of a change._ Brian + co-authors -------- Original Message -------- Subject: I-D Action: draft-carpenter-6man-why64-00.txt Date: Sun, 05 Jan 2014 13:59:17 -0800 From: internet-drafts@ietf.org Reply-To: internet-drafts@ietf.org To: i-d-announce@ietf.org A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Analysis of the 64-bit Boundary in IPv6 Addressing Authors : Brian Carpenter Tim Chown Fernando Gont Sheng Jiang Alexandru Petrescu Andrew Yourtchenko Filename : draft-carpenter-6man-why64-00.txt Pages : 14 Date : 2014-01-05 Abstract: The IPv6 unicast addressing format includes a separation between the prefix used to route packets to a subnet and the interface identifier used to specify a given interface connected to that subnet. Historically the interface identifier has been defined as 64 bits long, leaving 64 bits for the prefix. This document discusses the reasons for this fixed boundary and the issues involved in treating it as a variable boundary.
