    <abstract>
      <t>This memo instructs IANA to restructure its IPv4 and IPv6
      Special-Purpose Address Registries. Upon restructuring, the
      aforementioned registries will record all special-purpose address
      blocks, maintaining a common set of information regarding each address
      block.</t>

      <t>This memo updates RFC 5736 and RFC 4773, which define the current
      structure of the IPv4 and IPv6 Special-Purpose Address Registries. It
      also obsoletes RFC 5735 and RFC 5156 which document special-purpose
      address blocks that are not currently, but will in the future, be
      recorded in the IPv4 and IPv6 Special-Purpose Address Registries.</t>
    </abstract>
  </front>

  <middle>
    <section title="Introduction">
      <t>In order to support new protocols and practices, the IETF
      occasionally reserves an address block a for special purpose. For
      example, <xref target="RFC1122"/> reserves an IPv4 address block
      (0.0.0.0/8) to represent the local (i.e., "this") network. Likewise,
      <xref target="RFC4291"/> reserves an IPv6 address block (fe80::/10) to
      represent link-scoped unicast addresses.</t>

      <t>Periodically, the IETF publishes an RFC that catalogs special-purpose
      address blocks. Currently, <xref target="RFC5735"/> catalogs all IPv4
      special-purpose address blocks and <xref target="RFC5156"/> catalogs all
      IPv6 special-purpose address blocks.</t>

      <t><xref target="RFC5736"/> assigns an IPv4 address block (192.0.0.0/24)
      to IANA and instructs IANA to allocate special-purpose address blocks
      from this space. <xref target="RFC5736"/> also instructs IANA to create
      an IPv4 Special-Purpose Address Registry that records allocations from
      this address space. However, <xref target="RFC5736"/> does not instruct
      IANA to record special-purpose address block reservations from outside
      of the aforementioned space in the IPv4 Special-Purpose Address
      Registry.</t>

      <t>Likewise, <xref target="RFC2928"/> assigns an IPv6 address block
      (2001:0000::/23) to IANA and instructs IANA to allocate special-purpose
      address blocks from this space. <xref target="RFC4773"/> instructs IANA
      to create an IPv6 Special-Purpose Address Registry that records
      allocations from this address space. However, <xref target="RFC4773"/>
      does not instruct IANA to record special-purpose address block
      reservations from outside of the aforementioned space in the IPv6
      Special-Purpose Address Registry.</t>

      <t>This memo instructs IANA to restructure its IPv4 and IPv6
      Special-Purpose Address Registries. Therefore, this document updates
      <xref target="RFC5736"/> and <xref target="RFC4773"/> which define the
      current structure of the aforementioned registries.</t>

      <t>Specifically, this memo instructs IANA to record all special-purpose
      address blocks in the aforementioned registries. These include, but are
      not limited to, IPv4 allocations from 192.0.0.0/24 and IPv6 allocations
      from 2001:0000::/23. When the aforementioned registries include all
      special-purpose address blocks, <xref target="RFC5735"/> and <xref
      target="RFC5156"/> will become redundant with the registries. Therefore,
      this memo obsoletes <xref target="RFC5735"/> and <xref
      target="RFC5156"/>.</t>

      <t>Furthermore, this memo defines:</t>

      <t><list style="symbols">
          <t>a common set of information that the registries will maintain
          regarding each special-purpose address block</t>

          <t>a common set of requirements for future entries</t>
        </list></t>
    </section>

    <section anchor="IANA" title="IANA Considerations">
      <t>IANA will restructure the following registries:</t>

      <t><list style="symbols">
          <t>IPv4 Special-Purpose Address Registry</t>

          <t>IPv6 Special-Purpose Address Registry</t>
        </list>The IPv4 Special-Purpose Address Registry will record all IPv4
      special-purpose address blocks. These reservations will include, but not
      be limited to, allocations from the 192.0.0.0/24 address block.
      Likewise, the IPv6 Special-Purpose Address Registry will record all IPv6
      special-purpose address blocks. These reservations will include, but not
      be limited to, allocations from the 2001:0000::/23 address block.</t>

      <t><xref target="InfoReqs"/> of this document describes information that
      both registries will maintain for each entry. Initially, IANA will
      populate the IPv4 Special-Purpose Address Registry with information
      taken from <xref target="IPv4Entries"/> of this document. Likewise, IANA
      will populate the IPv6 Special-Purpose Address Registry with information
      taken from <xref target="IPv6Entries"/> of this document.</t>

      <t>IANA will update the aforementioned registries as requested in the
      "IANA Considerations" section of an IESG-reviewed document. The " IANA
      Considerations" section must include all of the information specified in
      <xref target="InfoReqs"/> of this document.</t>

      <section anchor="InfoReqs" title="Information Requirements">
        <t>The IPv4 and IPv6 Special-Purpose Address Registries will maintain
        the following information regarding each entry:</t>

        <t><list style="symbols">
            <t>Prefix - An IPv4 or IPv6 prefix that identifies the
            special-purpose address block</t>

            <t>Name - A descriptive name for the special-purpose address
            block</t>

            <t>RFC - The RFC though which the special-purpose address block
            was requested</t>

            <t>Allocation Date - The date upon which the special purpose
            address block was allocated</t>

            <t>Termination Date - The date upon which the allocation is to be
            terminated. This field is applicable for limited-use allocations
            only.</t>

            <t>Source - A boolean value indicated whether an address from the
            allocated special-purpose address block is valid when used as the
            source address of an IP datagram that transits two devices</t>

            <t>Destination - A boolean value indicated whether an address from
            the allocated special-purpose address block is valid when used as
            the destination address of an IP datagram that transits two
            devices</t>

            <t>Routable - A boolean value indicating whether a IP datagram
            whose destination address is drawn from the allocated
            special-purpose address block is routable (i.e., may traverse more
            than a single IP interface)</t>

            <t>Global - A boolean value indicating whether a IP datagram whose
            destination address is drawn from the allocated special-purpose
            address block is routable beyond a specified administrative
            domain.</t>
          </list>If the value of "Destination" is FALSE, the values of
        "Routable" and "Global" must also be false.</t>

    <section anchor="Security" title="Security Considerations">
      <t>Security of the Internet's routing system relies on the ability to
      authenticate an assertion of unique control of an address block.
      Measures to authenticate such assertions rely on validation that the
      address block forms part of an existing allocated address block, and
      that there is a trustable and unique reference in the IANA address
      registries.</t>

      <t>The proposed registry is intended to provide an authoritative source
      of information regarding the currency and intended purpose of special
      purpose address blocks that are designated from the IANA-administered
      Special Purpose registry. This is a small step towards the creation of a
      comprehensive registry framework that can be used as a trust point for
      commencing a chain of address validation. Consideration should be given
      to IANA registry publication formats that are machine parseable, and
      also the use of file signatures and associated certificate mechanisms to
      allow applications to confirm that the registry contents are current,
      and that they have been published by the IANA.</t>
