[ipv6-wg] Fwd: New I-D: SLAAC and DHCPv6 (Fwd: New Version Notification for draft-gont-v6ops-host-configuration-00.txt)

Folks,

FYI: <https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gont-v6ops-host-configuration-00>

Abstract:
   IPv6 has two different mechanisms for dynamic/automatic host
   configuration: SLAAC and DHCPv6.  These two mechanisms allow for the
   configuration of IPv6 addresses and a number of network parameters.
   While there is overlap in the parameters that can be configured via
   these two protocols, different implementations support only subsets
   of such parameters with either mechanism, or have no support for
   DHCPv6 at all.  This document analyzes a problem that arises from
   this situation, and mandates that all host implementations support
   RFC 6105 (DNS options for SLAAC) and the stateless DHCPv6
   functionality in RFC 3315.


This document is targetted at the IETF v6ops wg. Please send your
comments there (if possible), but we'll be happy to discuss this doc on
this list, too.

Thanks!
Fernando (and co-authors)

Folks,

Based on a recent discussion regarding the problem of conveying DNS
information in IPv6 networks, we have submitted this short I-D, in the
hopes of getting the aforementioned problem solved.

Your feedback will be appreciated.

Thanks!
Fernando (and co-autors)
