RADIUS Attribute for IPv6 Rapid Deployment on IPv4 Infrastructures
RFC 6930, “RADIUS Attribute for IPv6 Rapid Deployment on IPv4 Infrastructures”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2013 by D. Guo, S. Jiang, R. Despres, R. Maglione. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The IPv6 Rapid Deployment on IPv4 Infrastructures (6rd) provides both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity services simultaneously during the IPv4/IPv6 coexistence period. The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) 6rd option has been defined to configure the 6rd Customer Edge (CE). However, in many networks, the configuration information may be stored in the Authentication Authorization and Accounting (AAA) servers, while user configuration is mainly acquired from a Broadband Network Gateway (BNG) through the DHCP protocol. This document defines a Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) attribute that carries 6rd configuration information from the AAA server to BNGs.
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.
