Title : Domain Name Auto-Registration for Plugged-in IPv6 Nodes
Author(s) : H. Kitamura
Filename : draft-ietf-dnsext-ipv6-name-auto-reg-00.txt
Pages : 21

This document describes a scheme of 'Domain Name Auto-Registration
for Plugged-in IPv6 Nodes' mechanism that makes it possible to
register both regular and inverse domain name information of plugged-
in IPv6 nodes to DNS servers automatically.
Since IPv6 addresses are too long to remember and EUI64-based
addresses are too complicated to remember, there are strong
requirements to use logical names that are easy to remember instead
of IPv6 addresses to specify IPv6 nodes and to register domain name
information of plugged-in IPv6 nodes automatically.
In order to meet the requirements, a mechanism is proposed as one of
the IPv6 auto-configuration (plug and play) functions. After the
Address Autoconfiguration [ADDR-AUTO] has been executed, it works as
a succeeding plug and play mechanism.
This document clarifies problems that we meet when we apply the
Dynamic Updates in the DNS [DYN-DNS] to automatic domain name
information registration mechanisms. This document describes the
Domain Name Auto-Registration mechanism as a solution to these
problems.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dnsext-ipv6-name-auto-reg-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
