Subnet ID Deprecation for IPv6
2019
Deprecation of the subnet ID in IPv6 networking is proposed; the
subnet ID is set to zero so that all nodes in a site carry the same
prefix. While the procedures for neighbor discovery and duplicate
address detection have to be changed, possible simplification gains in
IPv6 networking including that of intra-site host- and subnet-
mobility might be worth the modification. Site-external behaviors
don't change through this modification, enabling incremental
deployment of the proposal. Sites of manageable sizes for which
scalability is not much a critical issue might consider the mode of
operation proposed in this document.
