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.
