Technical Summary
The Prefix Information Option in the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Router
Advertisement defines an 8-bit flag field with two flags defined and
the remaining 6 bits reserved (Reserved1). RFC 6275 has defined a
new flag from this field without creating a IANA registry or updating
RFC 4861. The purpose of this document is to request that IANA to
create a new registry for the PIO flags to avoid potential conflict
in the use of these flags.
