Title: DNS Extensions to Support IPv6 Address Aggregation and Renumbering
Author(s): M. Crawford, C. Huitema.
Status: EXPERIMENTAL
Date: Jul 2000
Length: 44204
Updates: RFC1886
Updated by: RFC3152, RFC3226, RFC3363, RFC3364
This document defines changes to the Domain Name System to support renumberable and aggregatable IPv6 addressing. The changes include a new resource record type to store an IPv6 address in a manner which expedites network renumbering and updated definitions of existing query types that return Internet addresses as part of additional section processing.
For lookups keyed on IPv6 addresses (often called reverse lookups), this document defines a new zone structure which allows a zone to be used without modification for parallel copies of an address space (as for a multihomed provider or site) and across network renumbering events.
