New unreviewed article bot yes date January 2011 This IPv6 Subnetting Reference is about selecting the correct network size for IPv6 computer network addresses using CIDR notation. Different uses of IPv6 networks require different subnet sizes. ref http www.getipv6.info index.php IPv6 Addressing Plans ARIN IPv6 Addressing Plans ref The CIDR netmask separates the bits of the network identifier prefix from the bits of the host identifier. Selecting a smaller CIDR netmask will result in a fewer amount of networks, but with more space for hosts within those networks. ref http www.ripe.net info info services addressing.html RIPE IP Allocation Rates ref Not all sizes of prefix announcement may be routable on the public Internet see routing , peering , Comparison of IPv6 support by major transit providers In general, as of this writing, most providers will accept 48s, at least from the PI pools being issued by the RIRs. Some providers will only accept 32 and shorter outside of those pools. In terms of LANs, 64s are highly advisable, but, a local site administrator may choose any prefix length they want. SLAAC Stateless address autoconfiguration will not work with other than 64 prefix lengths. It is highly recommended that ISPs use a 48 for each end site note end site is not necessarily a customer, some customers may have multiple sites .

A virtual network is a computer network that consists, at least in part, of virtual network links. A virtual network link is a link that does not consist of a physical wired or wireless connection between two computing devices but is implemented using methods of network virtualization . The two most common forms of virtual networks are protocol based virtual networks such as Virtual LAN VLAN s, Virtual private network VPN s, and Virtual Private LAN Service VPLS s and virtual networks that are based on virtual devices such as the networks connecting virtual machine s inside a hypervisor . In practice, both forms can be used in conjunction. VLANs Virtual LANs are logical LAN s Local Area Networks , based on physical LAN s. A VLAN can be created by partitioning a physical LAN into multiple logical LAN s subnets using a VLAN ID. Alternatively, several physical LAN s can function as a single logical LAN. The partitioned network can be on a single router, or multiple VLAN s can be on multiple routers just as multiple physical LAN s would be. A VLAN can be on a VPN. A VPN virtual private network Virtual Private Network consists of multiple remote end points typically routers, VPN gateway s of software clients joined by some sort of tunnel over another network, usually a third party network. Two such end points constitute a Point to Point Virtual Private Network or a PTP VPN . Connecting more than two end points by putting in place a mesh of tunnels creates a Multipoint VPN . A VPLS Virtual Private LAN Service is a specific type of Multipoint VPN. VPLS are divided into Transparent LAN Services TLS and Ethernet Virtual Connection Services. A TLS sends what it receives, so it provides geographic separation, but not VLAN subnetting. An EVCS adds a VLAN ID, so it provides geographic separation and VLAN subnetting. A common example of a virtual network that is based on virtual devices is the network inside a VMware ESX virtual host that is implemented using virtual switches vSwi ... more details

Refimprove date March 2011 Internet Protocol address management IPAM is a means of planning, tracking, and managing the Internet Protocol address space used in a Computer network network . Most commonly, tools such as Domain Name System DNS and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol DHCP are used in tandem to perform this task, though true IPAM will glue these services together so that each is aware of changes in the other for instance DNS knowing of the IP address taken by a client via DHCP, and updating itself accordingly . ref name ipamworlwide cite web url http ipamworldwide.com title Welcome to IPAM Worldwid accessdate March 17, 2011 ref ref name UMregents cite web url http www.itcom.itd.umich.edu DHCP title Campus DHCP DNS and IPAM Services publisher The Regents of the University of Michigan location Ann Arbor, MI accessdate March 17, 2011 quote Internet Protocol Address Management is a database system for planning, tracking, and managing IP address space. ref ref name Rooney cite book last1 Rooney first1 Tim title IP Address Management Principles and Practice series IEEE Press series on network management year 2010 publisher Wiley IEEE Press location Hoboken, NJ isbn 9780470880654 oclc 701468014 ref Additional functionality, such as controlling reservations in DHCP as well as other data aggregation and reporting capability, is also common.

Some large IPv4 subnetting reference 8 blocks of IP address es, the former Classful network Class A network blocks, are assigned in whole to single organizations or related groups of organizations, either by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ICANN , through the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority IANA , or a regional Internet registry . Each 8 block contains 16,777,216 addresses. As IPv4 address exhaustion has advanced to its final stages, some organizations, such as Stanford University , formerly using 36.0.0.0 8, have returned their allocated blocks to assist in the delay of the exhaustion date.
