IPv6 Draft This document specifies Multiple Ethernet - IPv6 mapped IPv6 address(ME6A) spefification. ME6A is Ethernet mapped IPv6 address with plane ID. Unique allocation of plane id value enable duplicated MAC address unique in IPv6 address space. This address may use Ethernet over IPv6 encapsulation. The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.

This document specifies Multiple Ethernet - IPv6 mapped IPv6 address(ME6A) spefification. ME6A is Ethernet mapped IPv6 address with plane ID. Unique allocation of plane ID value enable duplicated MAC address unique in IPv6 address space. This address may use Ethernet over IPv6 encapsulation such as Multiple Ethernet - IPv6 mapping encapsulation - fixed prefix (ME6E-FP) and Multiple Ethernet - IPv6 mapping encapsulation - prefix resolution (ME6E-PR).

shows ME6A architecture.

ME6A consists of three parts as follows. ME6A prefix. This value is fixed value with M46E-FP, and non fixed value with M46E-PR. Ethernet network plane ID is network identification of Ethernet network plane. Ethernet MAC address. EUI-48 address or EUI-64 address.

This document makes no request of IANA. Note to RFC Editor: this section may be removed on publication as an RFC.
