IPv6 Scoped Address Architecture
RFC 4007, “IPv6 Scoped Address Architecture”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2005 by S. Deering, B. Haberman, T. Jinmei, E. Nordmark, B. Zill. It has since been updated by RFC 7346, RFC 9844. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies the architectural characteristics, expected behavior, textual representation, and usage of IPv6 addresses of different scopes. According to a decision in the IPv6 working group, this document intentionally avoids the syntax and usage of unicast site-local addresses. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
