--NextPart A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Zero Configuration Networking Working Group of the IETF. Title : Dynamic Configuration of Link-Local IPv4 Addresses Author(s) : B. Aboba, et al. Filename : draft-ietf-zeroconf-ipv4-linklocal-16.txt Pages : 30 Date : 2004-7-2 To participate in wide-area IP networking, a host needs to be configured, either manually by the user or automatically from a source on the network such as a DHCP server. Unfortunately, such external configuration information may not always be available. It is therefore beneficial for a host to be able to depend on a useful subset of IP networking functions even when no configuration is available. This document describes how a host may automatically configure an interface with an IPv4 address within the 169.254/16 prefix that is valid for communication with other devices connected to the same physical (or logical) link. Communication using Link- Local IPv4 addresses is not suitable for communication with devices not directly connected to the same physical (or logical) link.

Send a message to: [email protected]. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-zeroconf-ipv4-linklocal-16.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft. --NextPart Content-Type: Multipart/Alternative; Boundary="OtherAccess" --OtherAccess Content-Type: Message/External-body; access-type="mail-server"; server="[email protected]" Content-Type: text/plain Content-ID: <[email protected]> ENCODING mime FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-zeroconf-ipv4-linklocal-16.txt --OtherAccess Content-Type: Message/External-body; name="draft-ietf-zeroconf-ipv4-linklocal-16.txt"; site="ftp.ietf.org"; access-type="anon-ftp"; directory="internet-drafts" Content-Type: text/plain Content-ID: <[email protected]> --OtherAccess-- --NextPart Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ I-D-Announce mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/i-d-announce --NextPart--
