ipv6 addressing - non-routable equivalents?

 Two birds w/ one stone.

	) There is no IPv6 equivalent of global, private address space
	  as defined in RFC 1918.  There is link-local and site-local,
	  which might suit your purposes.


	) Inverse DNS delegations are done the same way as in IPv4, with
	  the delegations occuring on nibble bounds.

	  If you have:  201:0600:0004:80cf::/48 and (remember) the
	  bits from 65-128 are "reserved" for your MAC or e164 address,
	  then you have /49 to /64 to carve up as subnets.
	  16 delegation points, e.g. the functional equivalant of an
	  IPv4 /16.  Does that help?

% What's the equivalent of 192.168.x.y and 10.a.b.c for ipv6?
