Hain}, title = {{An IPv6 Geographic Global Unicast Address Format}}, pagetotal = 16, year = 2010, month = jul, day = 12, abstract = {This document defines an IPv6 Geographic global unicast address format for use in the Internet. The address format defined in this document is consistent with the IPv6 Protocol {[}1{]} and the "IPv6 Addressing Architecture" {[}2{]}. It is designed to facilitate scalable Internet routing when sites attach to multiple service providers, by using a prefix based on a geographic reference to the site. A natural byproduct of this address allocation mechanism is that all addresses are fixed allowing sites to change providers at will without requiring their network to renumber.}, }
