The IESG has received a request from the Dynamic Host Configuration WG (dhc) to consider the following document: - 'Definition of the UUID-based DHCPv6 Unique Identifier (DUID-UUID)' <draft-ietf-dhc-duid-uuid-03.txt> as a 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 2011-06-01. 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 defines a new DHCPv6 Unique Identifier (DUID) type, called DUID-UUID. DUID-UUIDs are derived from the already standardized UUID format. DUID-UUID makes it possible for devices to use UUIDs to identify themselves to DHC servers and vice versa. UUIDs are globally unique and readily available on many systems, making them convenient identifiers to leverage within DHCP. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dhc-duid-uuid/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dhc-duid-uuid/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
