The IESG has received a request from the Dynamic Host Configuration WG (dhc) to consider the following document: - 'Link-Layer Addresses Assignment Mechanism for DHCPv6' <draft-ietf-dhc-mac-assign-06.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 2020-05-19. 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 In certain environments, e.g. large scale virtualization deployments, new devices are created in an automated manner. Such devices typically have their link-layer (MAC) addresses randomized. With sufficient scale, the likelihood of collision is not acceptable. Therefore an allocation mechanism is required. This draft proposes an extension to DHCPv6 that allows a scalable approach to link-layer address assignments. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dhc-mac-assign/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dhc-mac-assign/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
