Hi, all,

We have submitted a new draft draft-jiang-semantic-prefix, "Semantic IPv6 Prefix". It proposes a framework to allow semantics to be embedded into prefix so that ISPs can easily apply relevant operations accordingly.

All comments are welcome.

Best regards,

Sheng

> Abstract:
>    Some Internet Service Providers desire to be aware of more
>    information about each packet, so that packets can be treated
>    differently and efficiently. IPv6, with a large address space, allows
>    semantics to be embedded into addresses. Routers can easily apply
>    relevant operations accordingly. This document provides analysis on
>    how to form semantic prefix and corresponding use cases, and
>    identifies the technical requirements to maximize the benefits of the
>    semantic prefix approach. It is recommended to use 4~12 bits in
>    prefix for embedded semantics.
