What after a renumbering event and the addresses that the client requests are no longer onlink?

Not necessarily -- if there are multiple prefixes assigned to the link, the spec doesn't say which prefix is used by each server. (Shncpd uses them all, which I'm not sure is a good idea.) Electing a single DHCPv4 server for each link works around the issue. > 2) if a DHCPv4 server previously had given out leases, and the lease is still > valid, then I think that it ought to ACK a DHCP renew. What if the prefix got renumbered, and the address is no longer being routed? _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
