Since there is a lot of conversation about IPv6 flying about, does anyone have a document or link to a good high level allocation structure for v6? It seems there are 100 different ways to sub allocate the /32, and I am trying to find a simple but scalable method... . Thanks! Victor Esposito

See RFC 3531 and here: http://www.ipv6book.ca/allocation.html Simon -- DNS64 open-source --> http://ecdysis.viagenie.ca STUN/TURN server --> http://numb.viagenie.ca vCard 4.0 --> http://www.vcarddav.org

I'm sure I'm just dumb, but no matter what numbers I put into that tool, it only spits out a series of /32s on the HTML output. That doesn't seem terribly useful, as most of us aren't going to be allocating multiple /32s, we'll be splitting up a single /32 into smaller bits. Matt
The tool is aware of the prefix length you insert. So instead of /32, put /64 or /48 etc. On Oct 19, 2009, at 6:22 PM, Matthew Petach wrote:

Ah! So, the instructions are wrong; instead of saying "1. Enter the start prefix (i.e. 2001:db8::/32)." it should say "1. Enter the start prefix (i.e. 2001:db8::/40)." since the example is talking about allocating /40's for downstreams. Thanks--now it works a bit more coherently. :) Matt

This discussion has been done a bunch of times. Here is my scheme, which has been adopted (sometimes with small modifications) by quite a few providers I have spoken with. http://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2009-August/012681.html Read the whole thread because there was a bit of confusion. -- Nathan Ward
