Comments appreciated. Regards, Marc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : A flexible allocation scheme for IP addresses (IPv4 and IPv6) Author(s) : M. Blanchet Filename : draft-blanchet-ipaddressalloc-00.txt Pages : 5 Date : 06-Jul-98 This draft presents an IP address allocation scheme that enables the IP allocator (the organisation that allocates addresses) to postpone the final decision of prefix length by keeping space between allocated bits of the different parts of the IP address. This enables the allocator to change the different part lengths of the prefix (TLA, subTLA, SLA, ...) even after allocated spaces. This scheme is applicable to both IPv4 and IPv6 but is envisionned mainly for IPv6 where the address space is larger and more flexible. Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP.

A URL for the Internet-Draft is: ftp://ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-blanchet-ipaddressalloc-00.txt Internet-Drafts directories are located at: Africa: ftp.is.co.za Europe: ftp.nordu.net ftp.nis.garr.it Pacific Rim: munnari.oz.au US East Coast: ftp.ietf.org US West Coast: ftp.isi.edu Internet-Drafts are also available by mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-blanchet-ipaddressalloc-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.
