Excerpt
Introduction: Internet Protocol version 6 includes support for addresses of different scope; that is, both global and non-global (e.g., linklocal) addresses. Although non-global addressing has been introduced operationally in the IPv4 Internet, both in the use of private address space (net 10, etc.) and with administratively scoped multicast addresses, the design of IPv6 formally incorporates the notion of address scope into its base architecture. This document specifies the architectural characteristics, expected behavior, textual representation, and usage of IPv6 addresses of different scopes.
