Title : Autoconfiguration of routers using a link state
routing protocol

This memo documents our thinking to date regarding the use of version
3 of the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol as a mechanism for
the autoconfiguration of IP routers within an OSPF area.
Specifically, a method for the allocation and distribution of IPv4
and IPv6 subnet addresses without explicit configuration is
described. Such a mechanism would be useful in an environment where
routing is desirable, but the network administration skills necessary
to configure IP routers are not available. This draft presents zOSPF
(zeroconfigutaion OSPF), a protocol based on OSFPv3 that will allow
routers to self configure and forward IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.

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
