Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol over InfiniBand
RFC 4390, “Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol over InfiniBand”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2006 by V. Kashyap. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
IP over Infiniband (IPoIB) link-layer address is 20 octets long. This is larger than the 16 octets reserved for the hardware address in a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol/Bootstrap Protocol (DHCP/BOOTP) message. The above inequality imposes restrictions on the use of the DHCP message fields when used over an IPoIB network. This document describes the use of DHCP message fields when implementing DHCP over IPoIB. [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.
