Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Options for Broadcast and Multicast Control Servers
RFC 4280, “Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Options for Broadcast and Multicast Control Servers”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2005 by K. Chowdhury, P. Yegani, L. Madour. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines new options to discover the Broadcast and Multicast Service (BCMCS) controller in an IP network. BCMCS is being developed for Third generation (3G) cellular telephone networks. Users of the service interact with a controller in the network via the Mobile Node (MN) to derive information required to receive Broadcast and Multicast Service. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol can be used to configure the MN to access a particular controller. This document defines the related options and option codes. [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.
