   Title:   DHCPv4 Routed Prefix Option

Abstract:

   This document defines a DHCPv4 option that conveys one or more IPv4
   prefixes that are routed toward a DHCP client independently of the
   client's on-link DHCP-assigned IPv4 address and default-router
   configuration.

   The option is intended for requesting routers whose upstream
   attachment address is distinct from IPv4 prefix space routed toward
   them.  Examples include access networks in which a customer router
   receives a private-use address [RFC1918] or Shared Address Space
   [RFC6598] attachment address while one or more additional public or
   private IPv4 prefixes are routed toward that router.

   This document does not define how the upstream network establishes
   the route, does not require Network Address Translation (NAT), and
   does not specify how a client uses, assigns, translates, or delegates
   an advertised prefix after receipt.
