RFC 3681 Delegation of E.F.F.3.IP6.ARPA January 2004
The current planning within the 6bone operational community is to
provide new inet6num attributes in the 6bone registry database for
top level 6bone address space holders to request delegation to their
reverse path servers.
2. IANA Considerations
This memo requests that the IANA delegate the E.F.F.3.IP6.ARPA domain
to the 6bone, as will be described in instructions to be provided by
the IAB. Names within this zone are to be further delegated within
the top level 6bone ISPs (known as pTLAs) in accordance with the
delegation of 6bone 3FFE::/16 address space.
3. Security Considerations
While DNS spoofing of address to name mapping has been exploited in
IPv4, delegation of the E.F.F.3.IP6.ARPA zone creates no new threats
to the security of the internet.
