[dhcwg] Re: Adoption of draft-porfiri-dhc-dhcpv4-over-dhcpv6 -ra?

Hi Jari … we are still collecting agenda items for the dhc wg meeting at upcoming IETF meeting. So, please request some time as I think the only item currently on the list is 8415bis.

Hi,

We've had some discussion of this topic in IETF-118. In that meeting and discussions afterwards, a new direction was found that leverages DHCPv4-over-DHCPv6 and relay agents. This does not introduce major new protocol machinery, rather it is a small amendment and documenting how existing features can be used together in a specific manner. There’s interest in the industry to apply this in large radio fronthaul networks.

We believe the draft is ready and could be adopted by the working group. Review, comments, etc. would of course be useful. Could we either conduct an adoption call on the list, or discuss in the meeting, or both?

Abstract:

This document describes a general mechanism for networks with legacy

IPv4 only clients to use DHCPv4-over-DHCPv6 (DHCP 4o6) for

discovering information about network Topology. To address this

scenario, this document specifies an amendment to RFC7341 that allows

a new 4o6 Relay Agent (4o6RA) to perform the 4o6 DHCP en- and

decapsultion instead of the client.

Draft URL:

DHCPv4 over DHCPv6 with Relay Agent Support
