The IESG has received a request from the Dynamic Host Configuration WG (dhc) to consider the following document: - 'DHCPv4 over DHCPv6 Transport' <draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv4-over-dhcpv6-07.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2014-04-29. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract IPv4 connectivity is still needed as networks migrate towards IPv6. Users require IPv4 configuration even if the uplink to their service provider supports IPv6 only. This document describes a mechanism for obtaining IPv4 configuration information dynamically in IPv6 networks by carrying DHCPv4 messages over DHCPv6 transport. Two new DHCPv6 messages and two new DHCPv6 options are defined for this purpose. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv4-over-dhcpv6/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv4-over-dhcpv6/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
