Short content description ------------------------- 

The "IPv6 Address Space Management" document provides the management
process for IPv6 global unicast address space whereby address
allocations are made from a single global pool according to a "sparse
allocation" algorithm. This allocation process will maximise
aggregation of address space, ensuring that most ISPs retain a single
prefix as they grow, and avoiding the address space fragmentation
which results from the current IPv4 allocation technique. 

This document also describes the registration process and the
administration of the IP6.ARPA domain.
