Abstract

   This memo defines how the 6bone uses the 3FFE::/16 IPv6 address
   prefix, allocated in RFC 2471, "IPv6 Testing Address Allocation",
   [6BONE-TLA], to create pseudo Top-Level Aggregation Identifiers
   (pTLA's) and pseudo Next-Level Aggregation Identifiers (pNLA's).

Acknowledgements

   The address formats here are contributions of various early
   participants of the 6bone testbed project, and of the IPng and
   NGtrans IETF working groups.
