Hi,

I've just submitted a new version of my larger loopback prefix for IPv6 draft.

Changes since the previous version:

   o  clarification that the larger loopback prefix should fall within
      ::/8, the parent prefix of ::/128 and ::1/128

   o  Change from 1::/48 to 1::/32

   o  text about logically assigning addresses to interface(s), as per
      IPv6 addressing model

   o  automatic loopback address configuration to multiple loopback
      interfaces

   o  local serving of 0.0.0.1.0.0.0.IP6.ARPA zone in DNS

My thanks to the various reviewers and commenters on the previous versions. Further review and comments much appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark.

> Abstract:
>    During the development and testing of a network application, it can
>    be useful to run multiple instances of the application using the same
>    transport layer protocol port on the same development host, while
>    also having network access to the application instances limited to
>    the local host.  Under IPv4, this has been possible by using
>    different loopback addresses within 127/8.  It is not possible under
>    IPv6, as the loopback prefix of ::1/128 only provides a single
>    loopback address.  This memo proposes a new larger loopback prefix
>    that will provide many loopback IPv6 addresses.
