IPv6 Testing Address Allocation
Status of this Memo
This document specifies an Experimental protocol for the Internet
community. This memo does not specify an Internet standard of any
kind. Discussion and suggestions for improvement are requested.
Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
1.0 Introduction
This document describes an allocation plan for IPv6 addresses to be
used in testing IPv6 prototype software. These addresses are
temporary and will be reclaimed in the future. Any IPv6 system using
these addresses will have to renumber at some time in the future.
These addresses will not to be routable in the Internet other than
for IPv6 testing.
The addresses described in this document are consistent with the IPv6
Addressing Architecture [ARCH]. They may be assigned to nodes
manually, with IPv6 Auto Address Allocation [AUTO], or with DHCP for
IPv6 [DHCPv6].
