This message is to introduce a new Internet-Draft titled:
"Routing and Addressing in Next-Generation EnteRprises (RANGER)"
RANGER is an architectural framework that uses well known
(and in some cases widely-deployed) functional elements.
RANGER is not a technical specification in itself, however
it provides applicability analysis for the combination of
existing and emerging technical specifications. In particular,
it outlines an "enterprise-within-enterprise" framework that
addresses issues such as routing scaling, IPv6/IPv4 coexistence,
link MTU diversity, mobile ad-hoc networking, autoconfiguration,
etc.
The RANGER enterprise network model supports cooperative
operations between diverse organizations that may have
competing interests. The model can therefore be applied
to the global Internet itself.
In order to reduce fragmentation, please post any follow-up
comments or questions to the int-area and rrg lists only.

Title : Routing and Addressing in Next-Generation
EnteRprises (RANGER)

Enterprise networks will require support for both Internet protocol
versions (IPv4 and IPv6) for an indeterminant period; perhaps even
indefinitely. This is particularly true for existing enterprise
networks that must introduce IPv6 without disruption of IPv4
services, but the same principles apply also to clean-slate
deployments in new enterprises. Next-generation enterprises
therefore require an architected solution for coordination of their
internal routing and addressing plans for both IPv6 and IPv4. The
RANGER architecture addresses these requirements.
