Expansion of IPv6 Documentation Space

The podcast discusses the need for an expanded IPv6 documentation space, specifically referencing RFC 9637, which updates RFC 3849. The original documentation space of a slash 32 was deemed insufficient for demonstrating complex network scenarios commonly encountered, particularly for larger enterprises. The team behind the initiative, including key contributors with IETF experience, collaborated to draft requests for an expanded documentation space, eventually leading to a thorough review process within the IETF. Their goal was to ensure that the new documentation space would support practical applications, such as accurately modeling multi-domain networks and accommodating larger address plans.
