Folks,
Page 9 of the document says:
2.3. Address Type Identification
The type of an IPv6 address is identified by the high-order bits of
the address, as follows:
Address type Binary prefix IPv6 notation Section
------------ ------------- ------------- -------
Unspecified 00...0 (128 bits) ::/128 2.4.2
Loopback 00...1 (128 bits) ::1/128 2.4.3
Multicast 11111111 ff00::/8 2.6
Link-Local unicast 1111111010 fe80::/10 2.4.6
Global Unicast (everything else)
I wonder if this table should explicitly call out ULAs, and provide a
reference to the corresponding section.
(Question came up while looking at a slide I use in an IPv6 course I
teach, in which I use a modified version of this table, which calls out
ULAs).
Thanks,
Fernando
