IPv6 Unicast Addresses No experimental IPv6 addresses are defined. For certain experiments, Unique Local Addresses [RFC4193] may be useful. It is not appropriate to use addresses in the documentation prefix [RFC3849] for experimentation. Whereas RFC2928 states: "The block of Sub-TLA IDs assigned to the IANA (i.e., 2001: 0000::/29 - 2001:01F8::/29) is for assignment for testing and experimental usage to support activities such as the 6bone, and for new approaches like exchanges." [RFC2928] I also note that draft-huston-ipv6-iana-specials-01.txt (currently with David Kessens in AD review) advocates formalizing this with the creation of an IANA IPv6 special use registry. A further revision of the document appears to be appropriate in this case to correct what appears to be a factual error here. regards, Geoff Huston _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
