Abstract
This document defines the Prefix Delegation (PD) option used to delegate IPv6 address space to simple IPv6 sites. The PD option, which lists the global prefixes that a site may use to number its network, is attached to IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Router Advertisement messages that are sent across a point-to-point link from a provider's router to a site's border router. This document defines the mechanism by which a site router processes the PD option and configures each of its attached links allowing hosts within the site to obtain global addresses using address autoconfiguration.
