The nearest we have is 3177, I think. Persuading IANA to hand out the top level prefixes was done by email. See http://www.iab.org/Documents/IPv6addressspace.txt (Hmm. It reads very optimistically today.) > > It would be better if we can refer to a document (which might evolve > on its own) than explicitly state the range of prefixes in this document > because that means that should IANA start handing out prefixes outside of > 2000::/3 this document will become inconsistent with reality. Well, some text could say that in slightly more formal language.
