DHCPv6 Prefix Delegating Relay Requirements
RFC 8987, “DHCPv6 Prefix Delegating Relay Requirements”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2021 by I. Farrer, N. Kottapalli, M. Hunek, R. Patterson. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes operational problems that are known to occur when using DHCPv6 relays with prefix delegation. These problems can prevent successful delegation and result in routing failures. To address these problems, this document provides necessary functional requirements for operating DHCPv6 relays with prefix delegation.
It is recommended that any network operator using DHCPv6 prefix delegation with relays ensure that these requirements are followed on their networks.
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.
