Subnet Pools

SubnetPools consist of one or more subnets and ensure proper addressing. They guarantee that subnets taken from an Address‑Scope, which is parent to the SubnetPools, are allocated only once. Each customer receives a SubnetPool for a delegated IPv6 subnet, from which externally reachable Subnets can be created.
