Title : IPv6 Address Assignment to End Sites
Author(s) : T. Narten, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-v6ops-3177bis-end-sites-00.txt
Pages : 10

RFC 3177 argued that in IPv6, end sites should be assigned /48 blocks
in most cases. The Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) adopted that
recommendation in 2002, but began reconsidering the policy in 2005.
This document revisits and updates the RFC 3177 recommendations on
the assignment of IPv6 address space to end sites. The exact choice
of how much address space to assign end sites is an issue for the
operational community. The role of the IETF is limited to providing
guidance on IPv6 architectural and operational considerations. This
document reviews the architectural and operational considerations of
end site assignments as well as the motivations behind the original
3177 recommendations. Moreover, the document clarifies that a one-
size-fits-all recommendation of /48 is not nuanced enough for the
broad range of end sites and is no longer recommended as a single
default.
This document updates and replaces RFC 3177.
