SURFnet produces IPv6 number plan manual for network architects and managers
SURFnet has produced a manual to help network architects and network managers draw up a good IPv6 number plan – the first step an organisation must take when it decides to roll out IPv6.
SURFnet held a workshop for Dutch higher education and research institutions and came to the conclusion that a handy step-by-step plan for allocating new IPv6 address ranges did not yet exist. The document – Preparing an IPv6 Addressing Plan – has all the information that network managers and architects need to keep track of things when introducing IPv6 addresses. IANA has given RIPE NCC responsibility for issuing IP addresses in Europe. RIPE NCC has translated the manual into English and has also made the manual available online.
