Home Networking Control Protocol
RFC 7788, “Home Networking Control Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2016 by M. Stenberg, S. Barth, P. Pfister. It has since been updated by RFC 8375. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes the Home Networking Control Protocol (HNCP), an extensible configuration protocol, and a set of requirements for home network devices. HNCP is described as a profile of and extension to the Distributed Node Consensus Protocol (DNCP). HNCP enables discovery of network borders, automated configuration of addresses, name resolution, service discovery, and the use of any routing protocol that supports routing based on both the source and destination address.
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.
