Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Options for Coordinate-Based Location Configuration Information
RFC 6225, “Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Options for Coordinate-Based Location Configuration Information”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2011 by J. Polk, M. Linsner, M. Thomson, B. Aboba. It obsoletes RFC 3825. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol options (both DHCPv4 and DHCPv6) for the coordinate-based geographic location of the client. The Location Configuration Information (LCI) includes Latitude, Longitude, and Altitude, with resolution or uncertainty indicators for each. Separate parameters indicate the reference datum for each of these values. This document obsoletes RFC 3825. [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.
