Prefix delegation

IP networks are divided logically into subnetworks. Computers in the same subnetwork have the same address prefix. For example, in a typical home network with legacy Internet Protocol version 4, the network prefix would be something like 192.168.1.0/24, as expressed in CIDR notation. DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation is supported by most ISPs who provide native IPv6 for consumers on fixed networks.
