Abstract:
Some Internet Service Providers and enterprises desire to be aware of
more information about each packet, so that packets can be treated
differently and efficiently. Packet-level differentiating can also
enable flow-level and user-level differentiating.
IPv6, with a large address space, allows semantics to be embedded
into addresses. Routers can easily apply relevant operations
accordingly.
This document describes a framework that embeds semantics into IPv6
prefixes, so that network devices can treat packets based on these
explicit semantics. This document also analyzes on the technical gaps
for embedding complex semantics.
This informational document only discusses usage of semantics in a
Semantic Prefix Domain. It does NOT intent or suggest to standardize
any common global semantics.
