Stateless Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Service for IPv6
RFC 3736, “Stateless Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Service for IPv6”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2004 by R. Droms. 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
Stateless Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol service for IPv6 (DHCPv6) is used by nodes to obtain configuration information, such as the addresses of DNS recursive name servers, that does not require the maintenance of any dynamic state for individual clients. A node that uses stateless DHCP must have obtained its IPv6 addresses through some other mechanism, typically stateless address autoconfiguration. This document explains which parts of RFC 3315 must be implemented in each of the different kinds of DHCP agents so that agent can support stateless DHCP. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
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.
