Title : Loopback Prefix for IPv6
Author : Edward Lewis
Filename : draft-ipversion6-loopback-prefix-00.txt
Pages : 3
Date : 2015-02-12
Abstract:
The IPv6 address range of 0::/64 is reserved for loopback addresses.
This expands from the single loophack address already defined for IPv6,
::1, to allow for a set of addresses to be used when packets are intended
to stay within a host system. Multiple loopback addresses allow for
simultaneous varied uses of the loopback addresses as has proven, albeit
in limited ways, in IPv4. And exception is made to accomodate the
::0/128, already defined as The Unspecified Address.
