Abstract:
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is standardized in ISO-3779
and ISO-3780. The VIN is made of 17 alphanumeric characters code
that uniquely identifies a vehicle worldwide. Some public
information related to a vehicle can be obtained knowing its VIN
code. This code may also be used to enable novel vehicular
networking communications.
RFC 4193 introduces a globally unique IPv6 unicast address format
intended for local communications, usually inside of a site. These
addresses (ULA) are not expected to be routable on the global
Internet. This document introduces a method to build a VIN-based
IPv6 Prefix that is intended for local communications involving more
than one hop (VULA). The VIN-based generated prefix is assured to be
unique among other VIN-based generated prefixes. Typically, in a
scenario involving several vehicles, each single vehicle (in which
one Mobile Router is in charge) is capable of generating its own
unique infrastructure-independent globally-scoped VIN-based IPv6
prefix. This document also describes some use cases where VULA could
be exploited.
