Establishment of Global IPv6 Address Policies

Overview In RFC1881, the IETF community recognized the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) as the appropriate entity have the responsibility for the management of the IPv6 address space. IANA does this administration under the direction of the IAB and IESG. IANA, in turn, allocates IPv6 blocks to the RIRs for further allocation to their members. The IP address policies explained in this paper are the framework by which RIRs, and other downstream IRs, manage these addresses.
