IAB/IESG Recommendations on IPv6 Address Allocations to Sites

Metadata

Publisher: IETF
Doc Type: Informational
Pages: 10
Abstract: This document provides recommendations to the addressing registries (APNIC, ARIN and RIPE-NCC) on policies for assigning IPv6 address blocks to end sites. In particular, it recommends the assignment of /48 in the general case, /64 when it is known that one and only one subnet is needed and /128 when it is absolutely known that one and only one device is connecting.
