The IESG has received a request from the Dynamic Host Configuration WG (dhc) to consider the following document: - 'Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) bis' <draft-ietf-dhc-rfc3315bis-10.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2018-01-24. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document describes the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6): an extensible mechanism for configuring nodes with network configuration parameters, IP addresses, and prefixes. Parameters can be provided statelessly, or in combination with stateful assignment of one or more IPv6 addresses and/or IPv6 prefixes. DHCPv6 can operate either in place of or in addition to stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC). This document updates the text from RFC3315, the original DHCPv6 specification, and incorporates prefix delegation (RFC3633), stateless DHCPv6 (RFC3736), an option to specify an upper bound for how long a client should wait before refreshing information (RFC4242), a mechanism for throttling DHCPv6 clients when DHCPv6 service is not available (RFC7083), and clarifies the interactions between modes of operation (RFC7550). As such, this document obsoletes RFC3315, RFC3633, RFC3736, RFC4242, RFC7083, and RFC7550. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dhc-rfc3315bis/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dhc-rfc3315bis/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
