That will teach me to reply to stuff before reading *all* my e-mail (actually, probably not). Hot off the press today (now we just need to wait for code to ship): Subject: RFC 7695 on Distributed Prefix Assignment Algorithm From: [email protected] Date: Tue, 24 Nov 2015 08:17:58 -0800 (PST) (11:17 EST) To: [email protected], [email protected] Cc: [email protected], [email protected] A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 7695 Title: Distributed Prefix Assignment Algorithm Author: P. Pfister, B. Paterson, J. Arkko Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: November 2015 Mailbox: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Pages: 20 Characters: 46244 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-homenet-prefix-assignment-08.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc7695 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17487/RFC7695 This document specifies a distributed algorithm for dividing a set of prefixes in a manner that allows for automatic assignment of sub-prefixes that are unique and non-overlapping. Used in conjunction with a protocol that provides flooding of information among a set of participating nodes, prefix configuration within a network may be automated. This document is a product of the Home Networking Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard.
