Have a look at RFC 1627. However, it's probably a bit too old to be exactly what you're looking for.


And if any of you kids out there reading this are confused by the reference to RFC 1597: that's the predecessor to RFC 1918. :-)

I think it's important to make the distinction between the use of private address space and the use of NAT, though. NAT is evil and anyone who wants to use it in IPv6 should be tarred and feathered, because it breaks communication that isn't simple client/server. But it's possible for reasonable people to have different views on the use of private addressing as stable address space.
