Abstract
This document specifies extensions to IPv6 Neighbor Discovery to carry site prefixes. The site prefixes are used to reduce the effect of site renumbering by ensuring that the communication inside a site uses site-local addresses. This protocol requires that all IPv6 implementations, even those that do not implement this protocol, ignore all site-local addresses that they retrieve from the DNS when the AAAA or A6 RRset contain both global and site-local addresses. If the RRset contains only site- local addresses those addresses can be used.
