Autonomic IPv6 Edge Prefix Management in Large-scale Networks
draft-ietf-anima-prefix-management-03
Abstract
This document describes an autonomic solution for IPv6 prefix
management at the edge of large-scale ISP networks. An important
purpose of the document is to use it for validation of the design of
various components of the autonomic networking infrastructure.
