Hello, A new draft draft-lepape-6man-prefix-metadata-00<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-lepape-6man-prefix-metadata-00> describing a method for applications to learn and influence source address selection by associating IPv6 prefixes with meta-data when configured by the network is submitted. Motivation to do this and details of a prototype that has been developed are included. Related drafts that define DHCPv6 and ND options to realize conveying of meta-data associated with a prefix are draft-bhandari-dhc-class-based-prefix<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-bhandari-dhc-class-based-prefix-05> <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-bhandari-dhc-class-based-prefix-05> and <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-korhonen-6man-prefix-properties-02> draft-korhonen-6man-prefix-properti<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-korhonen-6man-prefix-properties-02>es<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-korhonen-6man-prefix-properties-02>. Motivation for doing this work is relevant to homenet hence adding homenet wg.
Appreciate review of the draft and comments.

Filename: draft-lepape-6man-prefix-metadata Revision: 00 Title: IPv6 Prefix Meta-data and Usage Creation date: 2013-07-15 Group: Individual Submission Number of pages: 16 URL: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-lepape-6man-prefix-metadata-00.txt Status: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-lepape-6man-prefix-metadata Htmlized: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-lepape-6man-prefix-metadata-00 Abstract: This document presents a method for applications to influence the IPv6 source selection algorithm used by the IP stack in a host. To do so, IPv6 prefixes are associated with meta-data when configured by the network. This meta-data allows the network to describe the purpose and properties of the prefix enabling applications to make intelligent decision when selecting a prefix. The IETF Secretariat
