This often leads to indiscriminate packet dropping and policing at the service edge (e.g., the BNG). Our draft defines new DHCP options for both DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 to explicitly signal available upstream and downstream data rates to the end devices. By natively signaling these capacities in-band, clients, relay agents, and snooping switches can dynamically configure localized traffic shaping, enabling effective Active Queue Management (AQM) and supporting the Low Latency, Low Loss, and Scalable Throughput (L4S) architecture. *Read the draft here: * https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-giese-dhcp-rate-signaling/ *GitHub & Issue Tracker:* We are managing the draft and tracking issues via GitHub.
