Here's an ID for consideration by the IPv6 WG. Background:
Discussion on the more general topic took place at the April ARIN and May RIPE meetings. A good summary of those presentations can be found at: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-50/presentations/ripe50-plenary-wed-ipv6-roundtable-report.pdf A more general discussion of the overall topic of IPv6 address allocation considerations (the /48 boundary topic is just one piece of a larger puzzle) can be found at: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-narten-iana-rir-ipv6-considerations-00.txt Thomas ------- Forwarded Message From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: i-d-announce@ietf.org Date: Tue, 12 Jul 2005 15:50:03 -0400 Subject: I-D ACTION:draft-narten-ipv6-3177bis-48boundary-00.txt Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --NextPart A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : IPv6 Address Allocation to End Sites Author(s) : T. Narten, et al. Filename : draft-narten-ipv6-3177bis-48boundary-00.txt Pages : 8 Date : 2005-7-12 This document revisits the IAB/IESG recommendations on the assignment of IPv6 address space to end sites. Specifically, it indicates that changing the default end-site assignment for typical home and SOHO sites from /48 to /56 is consistent with the goals of IPv6 and RFC 3177. Although it is for the RIR community to make adjustments to the IPv6 address space allocation and end site assignment policies, the IETF community would be comfortable with RIRs changing the default assignment size to /56 for smaller end sites. This document obsoletes RFC 3177 and reclassifies it as historic.

Send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-narten-ipv6-3177bis-48boundary-00.txt". 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. --NextPart Content-Type: Multipart/Alternative; Boundary="OtherAccess" --OtherAccess Content-Type: Message/External-body; access-type="mail-server"; server="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" Content-Type: text/plain Content-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ENCODING mime FILE /internet-drafts/draft-narten-ipv6-3177bis-48boundary-00.txt --OtherAccess Content-Type: Message/External-body; name="draft-narten-ipv6-3177bis-48boundary-00.txt"; site="ftp.ietf.org"; access-type="anon-ftp"; directory="internet-drafts" Content-Type: text/plain Content-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --OtherAccess-- --NextPart Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ I-D-Announce mailing list I-D-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/i-d-announce --NextPart-- ------- End of Forwarded Message -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
