This document recommends that network implementors who have planned or
deployed an OSI NSAP addressing plan, and who wish to deploy or
transition to IPv6, should redesign a native IPv6 addressing plan to
meet their needs.  However, it also defines a set of mechanisms for
the support of OSI NSAP addressing in an IPv6 network.  These
mechanisms are the ones that MUST be used if such support is required.
This document also defines a mapping of IPv6 addresses within the OSI
address format, should this be required.  This RFC is the product of
the IPNG Working Group of the IETF.

This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
