Abstract:
In IPv6 networks, there remains a need to provide IPv4 service for
some residual devices. This document describes a mechanism for
allocating IPv4 addresses to such devices, using DHCPv4 with an IPv6
transport. It is done by putting a special relay agent function
(Client Relay Agent) on the client side, as well as extending the
behavior of the server; in the case where DHCP server only supports
IPv4 transport, a relay agent is extended to support IPv6 transport
(IPv6-Transport Relay Agent) and relay DHCP traffic for the server,
with a new Relay Agent Information sub-option added to carry the IPv6
address of the Client Relay Agent. DHCPv4 over IPv6 has been
developed in the IETF, and some implementations and deployments have
been carried out. But this mechanism is not recommended for future
implementation or deployment.
