In certain environments, e.g., large-scale virtualization
deployments, new devices are created in an automated manner. Such
devices may have their link-layer addresses assigned in an automated
fashion. With sufficient scale, the likelihood of a collision using
random assignment without duplication detection is not acceptable.
Therefore, an allocation mechanism is required. This document
proposes an extension to DHCPv6 that allows a scalable approach to
link-layer address assignments where preassigned link-layer address
assignments (such as by a manufacturer) are not possible or are
unnecessary.
This document is a product of the Dynamic Host Configuration Working Group of
the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
