+ + Over the history of IPv6, there have been many classful address + models; TLA and NLA being outstanding examples. They have all been + shown to be mistakes. The last is a magic boundary at /64. This + document removes that last bit of useless magic. + +

+ + It is assumed that the reader understands IPv6, , IP Version 6 Addressing Architecture, see , and the proposed changes to , see . + +
+ +
+ + To quote Lorenzo Colitti in the working group meeting at IETF 98, + "Just because this is being elevated to full standard does not mean + it can not be changed tomorrow." Tomorrow is here. + + Link prefixes of varied lengths, /127, /126, /124, /120, ... /64 + have been successfully deployed for many years. Having the formal + specification say otherwise risks potential mis-implementation by + the naive, resulting in operational disasters. + +
+ +
+ + To state it simply, IPv6 unicast routing is based on prefixes of + any valid length up to 128 except for links where an Internet + Standard such as Stateless Address Configuration , or Using 127-Bit IPv6 Prefixes on Inter-Router + Links is in use. + +
+ +
+ + For historical reasons, when a prefix is needed on a link, + barring other considerations, a /64 is traditional. + +
+ +
+ + This document has no known security impact. + +
+ +
+ + This document has no IANA Considerations. + + + +

+ + The original draft was by Randy Bush, who was immediately aided + and abetted by Job Snijders, [ your name here ]. + +
