Title : Automated config of address selection policy tables
Author(s) : C. Patel
Filename : draft-cpatel-ipv6-automated-policy-table-cfg-00.txt
Pages : 17

This document proposes a method to manage the address selection
policy tables in network hosts using RA's (Router Advertisements).
The aim is to provide an easy method to network operators to control
the src/dest address used by the host in communication within, and
outside of the site(s) in which the host resides. Control of the
policy tables allows 1) the user to control the scope in which a host
may operate, and 2) non-disruption of intra-site traffic during
renumbering caused by change in the global prefix used by the site to
connect to the Internet.
A major impact of the last benefit would be to provide one less
incentive to advertise routes to the stable network prefixes in the
Internet.

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.
