Title: Renumbering Requirements for Stateless DHCPv6
State: Pending
Authors: Tim Chown
Group: Dynamic Host Configuration (dhc)
Date: 2004-10-28
IPv6 hosts using Stateless Address Autoconfiguration are able to
automatically configure their IPv6 address and default router settings.
However, further settings are not available. If such hosts wish to
automatically configure their DNS, NTP or other specific settings the
stateless variant of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6
(DHCPv6) could be used. This combination of Stateless Address
Autoconfiguration and stateless DHCPv6 could be used quite commonly in IPv6
networks. However, hosts using such a combination currently have no means
by which to be informed of changes in stateless DHCPv6 option settings,
e.g. the addition of a new NTP server address, changes in DNS search paths,
or full site renumbering. This document is presented as a problem statement
from which a solution should be proposed in a subsequent document.
