The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6)' (draft-ietf-dhc-rfc8415bis-12.txt) as Internet Standard
This document is the product of the Dynamic Host Configuration Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Erik Kline and Éric Vyncke. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dhc-rfc8415bis/ Technical Summary This document describes the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6): an extensible mechanism for configuring nodes with network configuration parameters, IP addresses, and prefixes. Parameters can be provided statelessly, or in combination with stateful assignment of one or more IPv6 addresses and/or IPv6 prefixes. DHCPv6 can operate either in place of or in addition to stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC). This document obsoletes RFC8415 to incorporate reported errata and to obsolete the assignment of temporary addresses (the IA_TA option) and the server unicast capability (the Server Unicast option and UseMulticast status code). ***RFC 8415 was a proposed standard, this -bis document elevates DHCPv6 to Internet Standard by clarifying the text and removing unused/unimplemented features, i.e., it is suggested that the IESG only review the diffs with RFC 8415, i.e., https://author-tools.ietf.org/iddiff?url1=rfc8415&url2=draft-ietf-dhc-rfc8415bis-08&difftype=--html See also section 2.2 of RFC 6410 *** Working Group Summary (from the shepherd's write-up) There is strong consensus to progress this document that elevates the DHCPv6 specification to to an Internet Standard. Document Quality There are numerous interoperable implementations on multiple platforms and they have been documented in an Implementation Status section (Section 22 of the draft). Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Suresh Krishnan. The Responsible Area Director is Éric Vyncke. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
