Abstract

   This document contains recommendations from the Internet Engineering
   Task Force (IETF) IPv6 Working Group to the Third Generation
   Partnership Project (3GPP) community regarding the use of IPv6 in the
   3GPP standards.  Specifically, this document recommends that the 3GPP
   specify that multiple prefixes may be assigned to each primary PDP
   context, require that a given prefix must not be assigned to more
   than one primary PDP context, and allow 3GPP nodes to use multiple
   identifiers within those prefixes, including randomly generated
   identifiers.

   The IPv6 Working Group supports the use of IPv6 within 3GPP and
   offers these recommendations in a spirit of open cooperation between
   the IPv6 Working Group and the 3GPP community.  Since the original
   publication of this document as an Internet-Draft, the 3GPP has
   adopted the primary recommendations of this document.
