The IESG has approved the following document: - 'DHCPv4-over-DHCPv6 with Relay Agent Support' (draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv4-over-dhcpv6-ra-06.txt) as Proposed 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-dhcpv4-over-dhcpv6-ra/ Technical Summary This document describes a mechanism for networks with legacy IPv4-only clients to use services provided by DHCPv4-over-DHCPv6 in a Relay Agent. RFC7341 specifies use of DHCPv4-over-DHCPv6 in the client only. This document specifies a RFC7341-based approach that allows DHCP 4o6 to be deployed as a Relay Agent that implements the 4o6 DHCP encapsulation and decapsulation in an intermediate node rather than the client. Working Group Summary [From shephers write-up] It has support from a good number of individuals and no one has raised any objections or concerns. Document Quality Review done by Genart during the IETF Last Call. [From shepherd's write-up]: This is not directly a protocol document. It just describes moving some functionality from DHCPv4 clients to relay agents from RFC7341. These actions are transparent to the client and facilitates adopting RFC7341 as changing relay agents is a lot easier than many client implementations. There has been some implementation work and no issues discovered. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Bernie Volz. The Responsible Area Director is Éric Vyncke. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
