IPv6 numbering Scheme
The IPv6 set-up on the AMS-IX ISP peering LAN is as follows:
- The prefix in use is: 2001:7f8:1::/64
- The prefix is sourced from AS1200.
- The prefix is tagged with the no-export community and should not be announced outside of your AS.
The suffix (‘allocation’) scheme is as follows:
A5xx:xxxx:n
Here, “xx:xxxx” is your (zero-padded) AS number in decimals and “n” is a serial number depending on the number of interfaces you are using for IPv6 peerings (starting from 1 for the first interface, 2 for the second interface and so on).
Example
AMS-IX uses AS1200 (zero-padded: 001200), so its IPv6 peering addresses are:
2001:7f8:1::A500:1200:1/64
2001:7f8:1::A500:1200:2/64
