A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories. This draft is a work item of the Dynamic Host Configuration 
Working Group of the IETF.                                                 

       Title     : Procedure for Defining New DHCP Options                 
       Author(s) : R. Droms
       Filename  : draft-ietf-dhc-new-options-00.txt
       Pages     : 2
       Date      : 02/05/1996

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a framework for 
passing configuration information to hosts on a TCP/IP network.  
Configuration parameters and other control information are carried in 
tagged data items that are stored in the 'options' field of the DHCP 
message.  The data items themselves are also called "options."             

This document describes the procedure for defining new DHCP options.  The 
procedure will guarantee that:  
                                           
 * allocation of new option numbers is coordinated from a single authority, 
 * new options are reviewed for technical correctness and appropriateness, 
   and                                                                        
 * documentation for new options is complete and published.

Send a message to:  mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dhc-new-options-00.txt".
							
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
      MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
      feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
      command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
      a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
      exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
      "multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
      up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
      how to manipulate these messages.
							
For questions, please mail to Internet-Drafts@cnri.reston.va.us.
							

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
