FYI. Regards, Thomas ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 02 Jul 1998 11:12:17 -0400 From: Internet-Drafts@ietf.org To: IETF-Announce:;;;;@ns.cnri.reston.va.us;@Eng.Sun.COM;;; Cc: ipng@sunroof.Eng.Sun.COM Subject: (IPng 5969) I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-ipngwg-unicast-aggr-05.txt Note: This revision reflects comments received during the last call period. A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the IPNG Working Group of the IETF. Title : An IPv6 Aggregatable Global Unicast Address Format Author(s) : B. Hinden, M. O''Dell, S. Deering Filename : draft-ietf-ipngwg-unicast-aggr-05.txt Pages : 11 Date : 01-Jul-98 This document defines an IPv6 aggregatable global unicast address format for use in the Internet. The address format defined in this document is consistent with the IPv6 Protocol [IPV6] and the 'IPv6 Addressing Architecture' [ARCH]. It is designed to facilitate scalable Internet routing. This documented replaces RFC 2073, 'An IPv6 Provider-Based Unicast Address Format'. RFC 2073 will become historic. The Aggregatable Global Unicast Address Format is an improvement over RFC 2073 in a number of areas. The major changes include removal of the registry bits because they are not needed for route aggregation, support of EUI-64 based interface identifiers, support of provider and exchange based aggregation, separation of public and site topology, and new aggregation based terminology.

Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipngwg-unicast-aggr-05.txt". 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.
