The IESG has approved the following document: - 'DHCPv4 lease query by Relay Agent Remote ID' (draft-ietf-dhc-leasequery-by-remote-id-09.txt) as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Dynamic Host Configuration Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Ralph Droms and Jari Arkko. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dhc-leasequery-by-remote-id/ Technical Summary This document describes an extension to the DHCPLEASEQUERY exchange described in RFC4388. The extension allows the querying agent to immediately refresh its cache after a reboot using information that is available to it (the remote id) rather than requiring it to make LEASEQUERY requests as a result of information gleaned from traffic over time. Working Group Summary This document appeared in the working group at the beginning of 2008. There has been substantial review of this document. Document Quality The document has undergone careful review, and the working group is satisfied with its quality. Personnel The document shepherd is Ted Lemon <mellon@nominum.com>. Tthe responsible A-D is Ralph Droms <rdroms.ietf@gmail.com>. RFC Editor Note Please revise section 6, "Security Considerations," as follows: OLD This document does not introduce any new security concerns beyond those specified in the original lease query protocol RFC 4388 [RFC4388] specifications. NEW This document inherits the security concerns present in the original lease query protocol RFC 4388 [RFC4388] specifications. This specification introduces one additional issue, beyond those described in RFC 4388. A query by remote-id will result in the server replying with a consolidated lease binding information. Such a query, if done from an unauthorized source may lead to leak of lease binding information. It is critical to deploy authentication techniques mentioned in RFC 3118 to prevent such unauthorized lease queries. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
