Abstract
IPv6 address space is a public resource that must be managed in a prudent manner. Wherever possible, address space should be distributed in a hierarchical manner. This is necessary to permit the aggregation of the routing information by ISPs (Internet Service Providers) and to limit the expansion of internet routing tables.
The aim of this paper is to propose a model that may help to resolve the massive growth in the size of routing tables. Inspired from the tree of Pythagor, we get to distribute the prefixes in a hierarchical manner that minimizes and divides up the routing tables. The process of building the logical model, presented in this paper, is a grouping tool that can be used by network architects of autonomous systems or companies to build their networks with minimal routing tables.
