    Draft

    
      This document specifies Multiple Ethernet - IPv6 mapped IPv6
      address(ME6A) spefification. ME6A is an Ethernet-mapped IPv6 address
      with a plane ID. Unique allocation of plane id value enables 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 an Ethernet-mapped IPv6 address
      with a plane ID. Unique allocation of plane ID value enables 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 the network identification of Ethernet network
          plane.

          Ethernet MAC
          address. EUI-48 address or EUI-64 address.
