Title : An IPv6 Provider-Independent Global Unicast Address
Format
Author(s) : T. Hain
Filename : draft-hain-ipv6-pi-addr-00.txt
Pages : 11

This document defines an IPv6 Provider-Independent global unicast
address format for use in the Internet. The address format defined
in this document is consistent with the IPv6 Protocol [2] and the
'IPv6 Addressing Architecture' [3]. It is designed to facilitate
scalable Internet routing when sites attach to multiple service
providers, by using a prefix based on a geographic reference to the
site. A natural byproduct of this address allocation mechanism is
that all addresses are fixed allowing sites to change providers at
will without requiring their network to renumber.

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.
