Information Refresh Time Option for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6
RFC 4242, “Information Refresh Time Option for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2005 by S. Venaas, T. Chown, B. Volz. 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
This document describes a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) option for specifying an upper bound for how long a client should wait before refreshing information retrieved from DHCPv6. It is used with stateless DHCPv6 as there are no addresses or other entities with lifetimes that can tell the client when to contact the DHCPv6 server to refresh its configuration. [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.
