To enable TCP/IP in networks that previously using exclusive protocol, a flexible address structure would be far more preferred for their particular properties {[}draft-jia-scenarios-flexible-address-structure{]}. This document describes a flexible address structure -- Flexible IP (FlexIP) acting on limited domains {[}RFC8799{]}. FlexIP is expected to proactively adapt scenarios under flexible address structure. Meanwhile, FlexIP still benefit from global reachability based on the IPv6 interoperability.}, }
