IPV6 TOP LEVEL AGGREGATION IDENTIFIER ASSIGNMENTS

(last updated 2003-04-05)

TLA Identifier Assignments
--------------------------

TLA Identifiers are defined in [RFC2374] and are assigned from the Format
Prefix (FP) 001 (binary) in [RFC2373].

TLA ID assignments are listed below.

  IPv6 Prefix  FP   TLA Binary Value  TLA Hex  Assignment
  -----------  ---  ----------------  -------  ------------------
  2000::/16    001  0 0000 0000 0000  0x0000   Reserved
  2001::/16    001  0 0000 0000 0001  0x0001   Sub-TLA Assignments [RFC2450]
  2002::/16    001  0 0000 0000 0010  0x0002   "6to4" [RFC3056]
  3FFE::/16    001  1 1111 1111 1110  0x1FFE   6bone Testing [RFC2471]
  3FFF::/16    001  1 1111 1111 1111  0x1FFF   Reserved

  Note: Hex values are right justified. 

All TLA ID values not listed above are reserved.



Sub-TLA Identifier Assignments
------------------------------

Sub-TLA Identifiers are defined in [RFC2450] and are assigned out of
TLA ID 0x0001.  Note that use of the Reserved field to create the Sub-TLA
field is specific to TLA ID 0x0001.  It does not affect any other TLA ID.

| 3  |       13       |       13       |           19          |
+----+----------------+----------------+-----------------------+ . . .
| FP |      TLA       |    Sub-TLA     |           NLA         |
|    |      ID        |                |           ID          |
+----+----------------+----------------+-----------------------+ . . .
|001 |0 0000 0000 0001|xxxx xxxx xxxx x|xxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx|


As specified in [RFC2450], Sub-TLA ID assignments are done in blocks.
The initial Sub-TLA ID assignments to IP address registries are in blocks
of 64 Sub-TLA IDs.  These assignments are listed below.

  IPv6 Prefix       sub-TLA Binary Values  Allocated to          Date 
  ---------------   ---------------------  -------------------   ------
  2001:0000::/23    0000 000X XXXX X       IANA                  Jul 99
  2001:0200::/23    0000 001X XXXX X       APNIC                 Jul 99
  2001:0400::/23    0000 010X XXXX X       ARIN                  Jul 99
  2001:0600::/23    0000 011X XXXX X       RIPE NCC              Jul 99
  2001:0800::/23    0000 100X XXXX X       RIPE NCC              May 02
  2001:0A00::/23    0000 101X XXXX X       RIPE NCC              Nov 02
  2001:0C00::/23    0000 110X XXXX X       APNIC                 May 02
  2001:0E00::/23    0000 111X XXXX X       APNIC                 Jan 03 
  2001:1000::/23    0001 000X XXXX X       (future assignment)
  2001:1200::/23    0001 001X XXXX X       LACNIC                Nov 02
  2001:1400::/23    0001 010X XXXX X       RIPE NCC              Feb 03
  2001:1600::/23    0001 011X XXXX X       (future assignment)
  2001:1800::/23    0001 100X XXXX X       ARIN                  Apr 03
      .   .    .
      .   .    .
      .   .    .
  2001:FE00::/23    1111 111X XXXX X       (future assignment)

   Where "X" indicates "0" or "1".


All other Sub-TLA ID values not listed above are reserved.

When an RIR is nearing complete allocation of all of the Sub-TLA IDs in its 
block(s), it can request that the IANA provide another block.  

The block of Sub-TLA IDs assigned to the IANA (i.e., 2001:0000::/23
is for assignment for testing and experimental usage to support activities 
such as the 6bone, and for new approaches like exchanges.
