One such strategy is proposed as being "optimal", when viewed from the perspective of space-packing efficiency. This Draft recommends use of this technique as a "Best Current Practice", for both IPv4 and IPv6 address allocations.Author's Note This Internet Draft is intended to result in this draft or a related draft(s) being placed on the Informational Track for v6ops.
