Abstract
This investigation work seeks to document all usage of IPv4 addresses
in currently deployed IETF Routing Area documented standards. In
order to successfully transition from an all IPv4 Internet to an all
IPv6 Internet, many interim steps will be taken. One of these steps
is the evolution of current protocols that have IPv4 dependencies.
It is hoped that these protocols (and their implementations) will be
redesigned to be network address independent, but failing that will
at least dually support IPv4 and IPv6. To this end, all Standards
(Full, Draft, and Proposed) as well as Experimental RFCs will be
surveyed and any dependencies will be documented.

1. Introduction
This work aims to document all usage of IPv4 addresses in currently
deployed IETF Routing Area documented standards. Also, throughout
this document there are discussions on how routing protocols might be
updated to support IPv6 addresses.
This material was originally presented within a single document, but
in an effort to have the information in a manageable form, it has
subsequently been split into 7 documents conforming to the current
IETF main areas (Application [2], Internet [3], Operations &
Management [4], Routing [this document], Security [5], Sub-IP [6] and
Transport [7]).
The general overview, methodology used during documentation and scope
of the investigation for the whole 7 documents can be found in the
introduction of this set of documents [1].
It is important to mention that to perform this study the following
classes of IETF standards are investigated: Full, Draft, and
Proposed, as well as Experimental. Informational, BCP and Historic
RFCs are not addressed. RFCs that have been obsoleted by either
newer versions or as they have transitioned through the standards
process are also not covered.
2. Document Organization
The main Sections of this document are described below.
Sections 3, 4, 5, and 6 each describe the raw analysis of Full,
Draft, Proposed Standards and Experimental RFCs. Each RFC is
discussed in its turn starting with RFC 1 and ending (around) RFC
3100. The comments for each RFC are "raw" in nature. That is, each
RFC is discussed in a vacuum and problems or issues discussed do not
"look ahead" to see if the problems have already been fixed.
Section 7 is an analysis of the data presented in Sections 3, 4, 5,
and 6. It is here that all of the results are considered as a whole
and the problems that have been resolved in later RFCs are
correlated.
