Abstract:
   The DHCPv6 protocol, defined in [RFC3315] allows for multiple servers
   to operate on a single network, however it does not define any way to
   decide which server responds to which client queries.  Some sites are
   interested in running multiple servers in such a way as to provide
   increased availability in case of server failure.  In order for this
   to work reliably, the cooperating primary and secondary servers must
   maintain a consistent database of the lease information.  [RFC3315]
   allows for but does not define any redundancy or failover mechanisms.
   This document outlines requirements for DHCPv6 failover, enumerates
   related problems, and discusses the proposed scope of work to be
   conducted.  This document does not define a DHCPv6 failover protocol.
