Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6
RFC 3315, “Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2003 by R. Droms, J. Bound, B. Volz, T. Lemon, C. Perkins, M. Carney. It has since been updated by RFC 4361, RFC 5494, RFC 6221, RFC 6422, RFC 6644, RFC 7083, RFC 7227, RFC 7283, RFC 7550. It has been obsoleted by RFC 8415 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCP) enables DHCP servers to pass configuration parameters such as IPv6 network addresses to IPv6 nodes. It offers the capability of automatic allocation of reusable network addresses and additional configuration flexibility. This protocol is a stateful counterpart to 'IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration' (RFC2462), and can be used separately or concurrently with the latter to obtain configuration parameters
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
