This draft is a work item of the IP over InfiniBand Working Group of the IETF.
Title : DHCP over InfiniBand
Author(s) : V. Kashyap
Filename : draft-ietf-ipoib-dhcp-over-infiniband-04.txt
Pages : 6
Date : 2003-1-6
An InfiniBand network uses a link-layer addressing scheme that
is 20-octets long. This is larger than the 16-octets reserved
for the hardware address in DHCP/BOOTP message. The above
inequality imposes restrictions on the use of the DHCP message
fields when used over an IP over InfiniBand(IPoIB) network.
This document describes the use of DHCP message fields when
implementing DHCP over IPoIB.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipoib-dhcp-over-infiniband-04.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.
