IPv6 Router Advertisement Options for DNS Configuration
RFC 8106, “IPv6 Router Advertisement Options for DNS Configuration”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2017 by J. Jeong, S. Park, L. Beloeil, S. Madanapalli. It obsoletes RFC 6106. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies IPv6 Router Advertisement (RA) options (called "DNS RA options") to allow IPv6 routers to advertise a list of DNS Recursive Server Addresses and a DNS Search List to IPv6 hosts.
This document, which obsoletes RFC 6106, defines a higher default value of the lifetime of the DNS RA options to reduce the likelihood of expiry of the options on links with a relatively high rate of packet loss.
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.
