  <title>Internet Protocol Version 6 Address Space</title>
  <updated>2019-09-13</updated>
  <note>The IPv6 address management function was formally delegated to IANA
in December 1995 <xref type="rfc" data="rfc1881"/>. The registration procedure was confirmed
with the IETF Chair in March 2010.

As stated in <xref type="rfc" data="rfc3513"/>, IANA should limit its allocation of 
IPv6-unicast address space to the range of addresses that start with
binary value 001. The rest of the global unicast address space 
(approximately 85% of the IPv6 address space) is reserved for future
definition and use, and is not to be assigned by IANA at this time.
        
While <xref type="rfc" data="rfc3513"/> was obsoleted by <xref type="rfc" data="rfc4291"/>, the guidance provided to
IANA did not change regarding the allocation of IPv6 unicast 
addresses.

    <notes>The IPv6 Unicast space encompasses the entire IPv6 address range 
with the exception of ff00::/8, per <xref type="rfc" data="rfc4291"/>. IANA unicast address 
assignments are currently limited to the IPv6 unicast address 
range of 2000::/3. IANA assignments from this block are registered 
in <xref type="registry" data="ipv6-unicast-address-assignments"/>.
