IPv6 Prefix Options for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol version 6
RFC 3633, “IPv6 Prefix Options for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol version 6”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2003 by O. Troan, R. Droms. It has since been updated by RFC 6603, 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 Prefix Delegation options provide a mechanism for automated delegation of IPv6 prefixes using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This mechanism is intended for delegating a long-lived prefix from a delegating router to a requesting router, across an administrative boundary, where the delegating router does not require knowledge about the topology of the links in the network to which the prefixes will be assigned.
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.
