Comments appreciated.

Regards, Marc.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.


	Title           : A flexible allocation scheme for IP addresses
			  (IPv4 and IPv6)
	Author(s)	: M. Blanchet
	Filename	: draft-blanchet-ipaddressalloc-00.txt
	Pages		: 5
	Date		: 06-Jul-98
	
This draft presents an IP address allocation scheme that enables the IP 
allocator (the organisation that allocates addresses) to postpone the final
decision of prefix length by keeping space between allocated bits of the
different parts of the IP address.  This enables the allocator to change
the different part lengths of the prefix (TLA, subTLA, SLA, ...) even after
allocated spaces. This scheme is applicable to both IPv4 and IPv6 but is
envisionned mainly for IPv6 where the address space is larger and more
flexible.

Send a message to:	mailserv@ietf.org.  In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-blanchet-ipaddressalloc-00.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
