Delegation of IP6
Alternative Format: Original Text Document
RFC 3152 Delegation of IP6.ARPA August 2001
3. IANA Considerations
This memo requests that the IANA delegate the IP6.ARPA domain
following instructions to be provided by the IAB. Names within this
zone are to be further delegated to the regional IP registries in
accordance with the delegation of IPv6 address space to those
registries. The names allocated should be hierarchic in accordance
with the address space assignment.
4. Security Considerations
While DNS spoofing of address to name mapping has been exploited in
IPv4, delegation of the IP6.ARPA zone creates no new threats to the
security of the internet.
