Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Option for Civic Addresses Configuration Information
RFC 4776, “Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Option for Civic Addresses Configuration Information”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2006 by H. Schulzrinne. It obsoletes RFC 4676. It has since been updated by RFC 5774, RFC 6848. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCPv4 and DHCPv6) option containing the civic location of the client or the DHCP server. The Location Configuration Information (LCI) includes information about the country, administrative units such as states, provinces, and cities, as well as street addresses, postal community names, and building information. The option allows multiple renditions of the same address in different scripts and languages. [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.
