DHCPv6 Bulk Leasequery
RFC 5460, “DHCPv6 Bulk Leasequery”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2009 by M. Stapp. It has since been updated by RFC 7653. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) has been extended with a Leasequery capability that allows a client to request information about DHCPv6 bindings. That mechanism is limited to queries for individual bindings. In some situations individual binding queries may not be efficient, or even possible. This document expands on the Leasequery protocol, adding new query types and allowing for bulk transfer of DHCPv6 binding data via TCP. [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.
