A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Dynamic Host Configuration Working Group of the IETF.
Title : DHCP Relay Agent Information Option
Author(s) : M. Patrick
Filename : draft-ietf-dhc-agent-options-12.txt
Pages : 15
Date : 11-Oct-00
Newer high-speed public Internet access technologies call for a
high-speed modem to have a LAN attachment to one or more customer
premise hosts. It is advantageous to use the Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol as defined in RFC 2131 [1] to assign customer
premise host IP addresses in this environment. However, a number of
security and scaling problems arise with such 'public' DHCP use.
This document describes a new DHCP option to address these issues.
This option extends the set of DHCP options as defined in RFC 2132
[2].

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.
