Lightweight DHCPv6 Relay Agent
RFC 6221, “Lightweight DHCPv6 Relay Agent”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2011 by D. Miles, S. Ooghe, W. Dec, S. Krishnan, A. Kavanagh. It updates RFC 3315. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document proposes a Lightweight DHCPv6 Relay Agent (LDRA) that is used to insert relay agent options in DHCPv6 message exchanges identifying client-facing interfaces. The LDRA can be implemented in existing access nodes (such as Digital Subscriber Link Access Multiplexers (DSLAMs) and Ethernet switches) that do not support IPv6 control or routing functions. [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.
