Abstract

   This document describes IPv4 addressing dependencies in an attempt to
   clarify the necessary steps in re-designing and re-implementing
   specifications to become network address independent, or at least, to
   dually support IPv4 and IPv6.  This transition requires several
   interim steps, one of them being the evolution of current IPv4
   dependent specifications to a format independent of the type of IP
   addressing schema used.  Hence, it is hoped that specifications will
   be re-designed and re-implemented to become network address
   independent, or at least to dually support IPv4 and IPv6.

   To achieve that step, it is necessary to survey and document all IPv4
   dependencies experienced by current standards (Full, Draft, and
   Proposed) as well as Experimental RFCs.  Hence, this document
   describes IPv4 addressing dependencies that deployed IETF Application
   Area documented Standards may experience.
