The Line-Identification Option
RFC 6788, “The Line-Identification Option”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2012 by S. Krishnan, A. Kavanagh, B. Varga, S. Ooghe, E. Nordmark. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
In Ethernet-based aggregation networks, several subscriber premises may be logically connected to the same interface of an Edge Router. This document proposes a method for the Edge Router to identify the subscriber premises using the contents of the received Router Solicitation messages. The applicability is limited to broadband network deployment scenarios in which multiple user ports are mapped to the same virtual interface on the Edge Router. [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.
