Hi, We have submitted a new draft on "Things to think about when Renumbering an IPv6 network", which complements Fred Baker's document on procedures for renumbering. The draft went in on Monday, but hasn't been announced. It is in the IETF repository though: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-chown-v6ops-renumber-thinkabout-00.txt Abstract This memo presents a summary of scenarios, issues for consideration and IPv6-specific tools for IPv6 network renumbering, i.e. achieving the transition from the use of an existing network prefix to a new prefix in an IPv6 network. Its focus lies not in the procedure for renumbering, but as a set of "things to think about" when undertaking such a renumbering exercise. The document is not intended to be complete at the -00 phase, and will be enhanced as further operational experience is gathered. Given the relationship between renumbering and multihoming (renumbering without a flag day implies transient multihoming), we felt we'd like to invite multi6-ers to post feedback on the v6ops list (rather than here, to keep one thread :). -- Tim
