Hi, v6ops,

The authors have just submitted a new version of semantic prefix framework draft. The major changes are summarized below:

a) reword to emphasis this mechanism is a (not the) method that network operators use their addresses;

b) add text to clarify the increased trust is actually from the deployment of source address filter, which is a compliance requirement by semantic prefix;

c) restructure the document, move examples and gap analysis into appendixes, reorganize most content into a frame section (section 4);

d) add summarized description for framework at the beginning of Section 4;

e) add description for network operations based on semantic prefix, new section 4.4;

f) add a new coauthor who contributes an enterprise semantic prefix network example;

g) combine most of draft-sun-v6ops-semantic-usecase into the draft as ISP example in appendix.

Please review the new version and comments.

Best regards,

Sheng

>Abstract:
>   This document describes a framework method that network operations
>   may use their addresses.  Network operators, who have large IPv6
>   address space, may choose to embedded some semantics into IPv6
>   addresses by assigning additional significance to specific bits
>   within the prefix.  By embedded semantics into IPv6 prefixes, the
>   semantics of packets can be inspected easily.  Routers and other
>   intermediary devices can easily apply relevant policies as required.
>   Packet-level differentiation can also enable flow-level and user-
>   level differentiation.  Consequently, the network operators can
>   accordingly treat network packets differently and efficiently.  The
>   management and maintenance of networks can be much simpler.
