Title: DHCPv6 Relay Agent Information Option
State: Active

This document introduces the capabilities of the DHCPv4 Relay Agent
Information Option in RFC 3046 and the corresponding RADIUS- Attributes
Sub-option to DHCPv6. In particular, the document describes a new DHCPv6
option called the Relay Agent Information option which extends the set of
DHCPv6 options as defined in RFC 3315 and 3376. Following its DHCPv4
counterpart as defined in RFC 3046, the new option is inserted by the
DHCPv6 relay agent when forwarding client-originated DHCPv6 packets to a
DHCPv6 server. Servers recognizing the Relay Agent Information option may
use the information to implement IP address or other parameter assignment
policies. The DHCP Server echoes the option back verbatim to the relay
agent in server-to-client replies, and the relay agent strips the option
before forwarding the reply to the client. The Relay Agent Information
option is organized as a single DHCPv6 option that contains one or more
Attributes Sub-option, following its DHCPv4 counterpart, is also defined.
