IPv6 Deployment in Internet Exchange Points
RFC 5963, “IPv6 Deployment in Internet Exchange Points”, is an Informational document published in August 2010 by R. Gagliano. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document provides guidance on IPv6 deployment in Internet Exchange Points (IXPs). It includes information regarding the switch fabric configuration, the addressing plan and general organizational tasks that need to be performed. IXPs are mainly a Layer 2 infrastructure, and, in many cases, the best recommendations suggest that the IPv6 data, control, and management plane should not be handled differently than in IPv4. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
