Hi Bob,
Should there also be an upate to the IANA considerations section asking IANA to list this allocation as deprecated?
Good question, I had not thought about that. What is currently listed on the IANA pages for IPv6 address space ( http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-address-space ) is:
IPv6 Prefix Allocation Reference Note ----------- ---------- --------- ---- 0000::/8 Reserved by IETF [RFC3513] [1]
....
Notes:
.....
[1] The "unspecified address", the "loopback address", and the IPv6
Addresses with Embedded IPv4 Addresses are assigned out of the
0000::/8 address block.Since the part of the address space where these addresses are found is already listed as "Reserved by IETF", I don't think any IANA further action is required.
What I think is required (not sure if this happens automatically) is for the IANA to update the reference to the new RFC number when it is published. I will add that to the IANA considerations section.
Thanks, Bob
