Abstract
This document seeks to document all usage of IPv4 addresses in
currently deployed IETF Internet Area documented standards. In order
to successfully transition from an all IPv4 Internet to an all IPv6
Internet, many interim steps will be taken. One of these steps is
the evolution of current protocols that have IPv4 dependencies. It
is hoped that these protocols (and their implementations) will be
redesigned to be network address independent, but failing that will
at least dually support IPv4 and IPv6. To this end, all Standards
(Full, Draft, and Proposed) as well as Experimental RFCs will be
surveyed and any dependencies will be documented.
