Abstract

This document outlines an approach utilizing existing IPv6 protocolsto allow hosts to be assigned a unique IPv6 prefix (instead of aunique IPv6 address from a shared IPv6 prefix). Benefits of using aunique IPv6 prefix over a unique service-provider IPv6 addressinclude improved host isolation and enhanced subscriber management onshared network segments.
