Title : A flexible method for managing the assignment of
bites of an IPv6 address block
Author(s) : M. Blanchet
Filename : draft-ietf-ipngwg-ipaddressassign-02.txt
Pages : 13

This document presents a method to manage the assignment of bits of
an IPv6 address block or range. When an organisation needs to make
an address plan for its subnets or when an ISP needs to make an
address plan for allocating address ranges to its customers, this
method enables the organisation to postpone the final decision on
the number of bits to partition in the address space they have. It
does it by keeping the bits around the borders of the partition to
be free as long as possible. This scheme is applicable to any bits
addressing scheme using bits with partitions in the space, but its
first intended use is for IPv6. It is a generalization of RFC1219
and can be used for IPv6 assignments based on RFC2373 and RFC2374.

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.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
