RFC 3068: An Anycast Prefix for 6to4 Relay Routers

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 7526.

Current document in this lineage: RFC 7526 — Deprecating the Anycast Prefix for 6to4 Relay Routers

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This memo introduces a "6to4 anycast address" in order to simplify the configuration of 6to4 routers. It also defines how this address will be used by 6to4 relay routers, how the corresponding "6to4 anycast prefix" will be advertised in the IGP and in the EGP. The memo documents the reservation by IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) of the "6to4 relay anycast prefix." [STANDARDS-TRACK]
