This draft is a work item of the IPNG Working Group of the IETF. Title : Reserved IPv6 Subnet Anycast Addresses Author(s) : S. Deering, D. Johnson Filename : draft-ietf-ipngwg-resv-anycast-00.txt Pages : 3 Date : 11-Aug-98 The IP Version 6 addressing architecture defines an 'anycast' address as an IPv6 address that is assigned to more than one network interface (typically belonging to different nodes), with the property that a packet sent to an anycast address is routed to the 'nearest' interface having that address, according to the routing protocols' measure of distance. This document defines a set of reserved anycast addresses within each subnet prefix, and lists the initial allocation of these reserved subnet anycast addresses.

Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipngwg-resv-anycast-00.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.
