As per industry trends, Access Networks have been migrating from
traditional ATM based networks to Ethernet networks. In Ethernet
based access networks, Access Concentrators are typically configured
to act as a transparent bridge in Layer 2 mode. These Access
Concentrators also act as Layer 2 relay agents. Layer 2 Relay Agent functionality does not provide means to avoid flooding of DHCP
messages and also needs to be extended to support DHCP LeaseQuery
This draft discusses these issues and provides solutions for the
same.

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.
