This document outlines an approach utilizing existing IPv6 protocols
to allow hosts to be assigned a unique IPv6 prefix (instead of a
unique IPv6 address from a shared IPv6 prefix). Benefits of using a
unique IPv6 prefix over a unique service-provider IPv6 address
include improved host isolation and enhanced subscriber management on
shared network segments.
This document is a product of the IPv6 Operations Working Group of the IETF.
