A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : IPv6 Address Prefix reserved for Documentation
Author(s) : G. Huston, A. Lord, P. Smith

To reduce the likelihood of conflict and confusion when relating
documented examples to deployed systems, an IPv6 unicast address
prefix is reserved for use in examples in RFCs, books, documentation,
and the like. Since site-local and link- local unicast addresses have
special meaning in IPv6, these addresses cannot be used in many
example situations. The document describes the use of the IPv6
address prefix 2001:DB8::/32 as a reserved prefix for use in
documentation.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-huston-ipv6-documentation-prefix-03.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.
