Title : Renumbering Requirements for Stateless DHCPv6
Author(s) : T. Chown
Filename : draft-chown-dhc-stateless-dhcpv6-renumbering-00.txt
Pages : 8

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.

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.
