Triggering DHCPv6 Reconfiguration from Relay Agents
RFC 6977, “Triggering DHCPv6 Reconfiguration from Relay Agents”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2013 by M. Boucadair, X. Pougnard. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines two new DHCPv6 messages: Reconfigure-Request and Reconfigure-Reply. The Reconfigure-Request message is sent by a DHCPv6 relay agent to notify a DHCPv6 server about a configuration information change, so that the DHCPv6 server can send a Reconfigure message accordingly. The Reconfigure-Reply message is used by the server to acknowledge the receipt of the Reconfigure-Request message.
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.
