A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Dynamic Host Configuration Working Group of the IETF. Title : Dynamic Allocation of Shared IPv4 Addresses Authors : Yong Cui Qiong Sun Ian Farrer Yiu L. Lee Qi Sun Mohamed Boucadair Filename : draft-ietf-dhc-dynamic-shared-v4allocation-07.txt Pages : 14 Date : 2015-05-13 Abstract: This memo describes the dynamic allocation of shared IPv4 addresses to clients using DHCPv4. Address sharing allows a single IPv4 address to be allocated to multiple active clients simultaneously, each client being differentiated by a unique set of transport layer source port numbers. The necessary changes to existing DHCPv4 client and server behavior are described and a new DHCPv4 option for provisioning clients with shared IPv4 addresses is included. Due to the nature of IP address sharing, some limitations to its applicability are necessary. This memo describes these limitations and recommends suitable architectures and technologies where address sharing may be utilized.
