[ipv6hackers] IPv6 Addressing Plan Hints?

[Tim Chown]

Hi,

Have a look at the full document linked from https://labs.ripe.net/Members/steffann/preparing-an-ipv6-addressing-plan

There's also the ARIN wiki https://getipv6.info/display/IPv6/IPv6+Addressing+Plans

http://tools.ietf.org/search/rfc5375 is probably getting a bit dated now, and needs review.

Embedding semantics into the host or network part is being suggested by some, but also being frowned on by others ;)
e.g. http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-jiang-v6ops-semantic-prefix-04
