Author(s): S. Thomson, C. Huitema.
Status: PROPOSED STANDARD
Date: Dec 1995
Length: 6424
Obsoleted by: RFC3596
Updated by: RFC2874, RFC3152
This document defines the changes that need to be made to the Domain Name System to support hosts running IP version 6 (IPv6). The changes include a new resource record type to store an IPv6 address, a new domain to support lookups based on an IPv6 address, and updated definitions of existing query types that return Internet addresses as part of additional section processing. The extensions are designed to be compatible with existing applications and, in particular, DNS implementations themselves.
