Issues and Recommendations with Multiple Stateful DHCPv6 Options
RFC 7550, “Issues and Recommendations with Multiple Stateful DHCPv6 Options”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2015 by O. Troan, B. Volz, M. Siodelski. It updates RFC 3315, RFC 3633. It has been obsoleted by RFC 8415 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) specification defined two stateful options, IA_NA and IA_TA, but did not anticipate the development of additional stateful options. DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation added the IA_PD option, which is stateful. Applications that use IA_NA and IA_PD together have revealed issues that need to be addressed. This document updates RFCs 3315 and 3633 to address these issues.
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.
