Detecting Network Attachment in IPv4
RFC 4436, “Detecting Network Attachment in IPv4”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2006 by B. Aboba, J. Carlson, S. Cheshire. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The time required to detect movement between networks and to obtain (or to continue to use) an IPv4 configuration may be significant as a fraction of the total handover latency in moving between points of attachment. This document synthesizes, from experience in the deployment of hosts supporting ARP, DHCP, and IPv4 Link-Local addresses, a set of steps known as Detecting Network Attachment for IPv4 (DNAv4), in order to decrease the handover latency in moving between points of attachment. [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.
