Abstract:
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) is
initiated by a DHCPv6 client. A DHCPv6 server can force DHCPv6
client to send RENEW or INFORMATION-REQUEST by sending a RECONFIGURE
message. There may be multiple DHCPv6 network devices connected in
between a DHCPv6 client and a server, each one reserving resources
for the DHCPv6 client. There are no DHCPv6 messages that a relay can
initiate in order to control the client binding.
A DHCPv6 client may not always send a RELEASE message when it no
longer needs the IPv6 address or prefix and network resources for the
associated services it is using. This document specifies a way to
request release to be initiated by an intermediate DHCPv6 network
device, e.g. DHCPv6 relay, on behalf of DHCPv6 client. This helps
to relinquish network resources sooner than the lease expiration
time.
