This document specifies a distributed algorithm for dividing a set of 
prefixes in a manner that allows for automatic assignment of sub-prefixes 
that are unique and non-overlapping.  Used in conjunction with a protocol 
that provides flooding of information among a set of participating nodes, 
prefix configuration within a network may be automated.

This document is a product of the Home Networking Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.

STANDARDS TRACK: 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 Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the 
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this
