Abstract:
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is initiated by a DHCP
client. A DHCP server can force DHCP client to send DHCPRENEW by
sending a DHCPFORCERENEW message. There may be multiple DHCP network
devices connected in between a DHCP client and a server, each one
reserving resources for the DHCP client. There are no DHCP messages
that a relay can initiate in order to control the client binding.
A DHCP client may not always send a DHCPRELEASE message when it no
longer needs the IP address. This document specifies a way to
request release message to be initiated by an intermediate DHCP
network device, e.g. DHCP relay, on behalf of DHCP client. This
helps relinquish network resources sooner than the lease expiration
time.
