Hi All, I've begun preparing the next ste of changes to the DHCP MAP option draft, and would like to highlight the main changes.
- Naming: The name of the option will be changed, tentatively, to OPTION_S46_*. This it in line with the recognition that there is wider applicability of the options. Furthermore the "Mapping" term will be removed from the text, except when describing their use with MAP algorithm. - Default Mapping Rule: The DMR option will be removed, to allow the re-use of the existing AFTR option, if desired and when applicable. - Flags: The flags field will be removed from the options. To accomplish this, what was previously known as the BMR/FMR option, which was using the flag to make the difference, will now be recast as two separate "Basic Rule" and a "Forwarding Rule" Options. - Some of the generic DHCP requirements about known or unknown processing appear to actually conflict with DHCP practice and will be changed, eg an unknown sub-option should not lead to the entire option being discarded. - A new sub-section intended only for clients using the MAP algorithm will be introduced, and will describe how the options apply to MAP provisioning. - Various other editorial changes to bring the text into shape. If you have any initial comments, reactions to the above, please let us know. Regards, W. Dec
