This document discusses notion and actual mechanisms of
"Corresponding Auto Names" for IPv6 Addresses. With this mechanism,
all IPv6 addresses (even if they are link-local scoped addresses)
can obtain their own Names, and it will be able to use Names
anywhere instead of IPv6 Addresses.
IPv6 address is too long and complicated to remember, and it is
very nuisance thing to type a literal IPv6 address manually as an
argument of applications. Also, it is very difficult for human
beings to tell which IPv6 address is set to which actual IPv6 node.
In this sense, literal IPv6 address information can be called
meaningless information for human beings.
In order to solve above problems and to make the information
meaningful, mechanisms called Corresponding Auto Names for IPv6
addresses is introduced. They will become gentle information for
human beings. By applying a simple naming rule to the Auto Names
(e.g., use the same name-prefix for IPv6 addresses that are set to
the same interface (node)), this will contribute to help people to
understand which IPv6 address / Name indicates which actual IPv6
node.
