Procedures for Renumbering an IPv6 Network without a Flag Day
RFC 4192, “Procedures for Renumbering an IPv6 Network without a Flag Day”, is an Informational document published in September 2005 by F. Baker, E. Lear, R. Droms. It updates RFC 2072. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes a procedure that can be used to renumber a network from one prefix to another. It uses IPv6's intrinsic ability to assign multiple addresses to a network interface to provide continuity of network service through a "make-before-break" transition, as well as addresses naming and configuration management issues. It also uses other IPv6 features to minimize the effort and time required to complete the transition from the old prefix to the new prefix. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
