Abstract:
This document provides a methodology for automatically allocating
IPv6 [RFC2460] address blocks for networks that run BGP [RFC4271] and
are either single-homed or multi-homed [BARBER2011]. The automatic
allocation is taken from a specific /16 block assigned by IANA for
this purpose.
Networks that require more than this single /48 can still request
additional allocations via the existing RIR process. Networks are
not forced to use this allocation and can ignore this completely.
Availability of the /48 assignment via this mechanism does not change
existing mechanisms for obtaining IPv6 assignments through the
existing RIR (Regional Internet Registry) or LIR (Local Internet
Registry) mechanisms.
There is an implicit assumption that it's a good thing to promote
networks to enable IPv6 with a near-zero effort.
