DHCPv6 Options for Configuration of Softwire Address and Port-Mapped Clients
RFC 7598, “DHCPv6 Options for Configuration of Softwire Address and Port-Mapped Clients”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2015 by T. Mrugalski, O. Troan, I. Farrer, S. Perreault, W. Dec, C. Bao, L. Yeh, X. Deng. It has since been updated by RFC 8539. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies DHCPv6 options, termed Softwire46 options, for the provisioning of Softwire46 Customer Edge (CE) devices. Softwire46 is a collective term used to refer to architectures based on the notion of IPv4 Address plus Port (A+P) for providing IPv4 connectivity across an IPv6 network.
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.
