Multicast Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks Parameter Configuration Option for DHCPv6
RFC 7774, “Multicast Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks Parameter Configuration Option for DHCPv6”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2016 by Y. Doi, M. Gillmore. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines a way to configure a parameter set for MPL (Multicast Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks) via a DHCPv6 option. MPL has a set of parameters to control its behavior, and the parameter set is often configured as a network-wide parameter because the parameter set should be identical for each MPL Forwarder in an MPL Domain. Using the MPL Parameter Configuration Option defined in this document, a network can easily be configured with a single set of MPL parameters.
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.
