Source Address Validation Improvement Solution for DHCP

Overview

RFC 7513, “Source Address Validation Improvement Solution for DHCP”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2015 by J. Bi, J. Wu, G. Yao, F. Baker. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document specifies the procedure for creating a binding between a DHCPv4/DHCPv6-assigned IP address and a binding anchor on a Source Address Validation Improvement (SAVI) device. The bindings set up by this procedure are used to filter packets with forged source IP addresses. This mechanism complements BCP 38 (RFC 2827) ingress filtering, providing finer-grained source IP address validation.
