IPv6 in IITK Campus Network

The following IPv6 prefixes have been assigned to ERNET by APNIC:2001:0E30::/32

All PoPs have been assigned IPv6 addresses according to the current global unicast addressing scheme by, Hinden R., O'Dell M., Deering S.: An IPv6 Aggregatable Global Unicast Address Format RFC 2374, IETF 1998.[RFC2374] And Blanchet M.:A flexible method for managing the assignment of bits of an IPv6 address block draft-ietf-ipngwg-ipaddressassign-02, IETF 2001.

According to the scheme the end-user organizations that have a need to create subnets should obtain /48 prefixes.

Based on the these IIT Kanpur PoP has been assigned 2001:0E30:1400::/40 and it can further assign /48 to it’s customers.

Hence IIT Kanpur got 2001:e30:1401::/48

2001:E30:1401:4::/64 2001:E30:1401:2::/64 2001:E30:1401:1::/64 2001:E30:1401:5::/64
