Abstract:
This document describes a framework method that network operations
may use their addresses. Network operators, who have large IPv6
address space, may choose to embedded some semantics into IPv6
addresses by assigning additional significance to specific bits
within the prefix. By embedded semantics into IPv6 prefixes, the
semantics of packets can be inspected easily. Routers and other
intermediary devices can easily apply relevant policies as required.
Packet-level differentiation can also enable flow-level and user-
level differentiation. Consequently, the network operators can
accordingly treat network packets differently and efficiently. The
management and maintenance of networks can be much simpler.
