Abstract
In IPv4, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) commonly provideIN-ADDR.ARPA information for their customers by prepopulating the zonewith one PTR record for every available address. This practice doesnot scale in IPv6. This document analyzes different approaches andconsiderations for ISPs in managing the IP6.ARPA zone.
