Title : Load Balancing for DHCPv6
Author : Andre Kostur
Filename : draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-load-balancing-02.txt
Pages : 6
Date : 2014-07-04
Abstract:
This document proposes a method of algorithmic load balancing for
IPv6 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCPv6) traffic. It
enables multiple, cooperating servers to decide which one should
service a client, without necessarily exchanging any information
between the servers. The server selection is based on the servers
hashing client DHCP Unique Identifiers (DUIDs) when multiple DHCPv6
servers are available to service DHCPv6 clients. The proposed
technique provides for efficient server selection when multiple
DHCPv6 servers offer services on a network without requiring any
changes to existing DHCPv6 clients. This algorithm is an extension
of an already defined and proven algorithm used for DHCPv4, as
described in RFC 3074.
