Re: [dhcwg] Call for adoption: draft-sun-dhc-port-set-option

[sunqi <[e-mail]>]

Hi Ole,

This draft does proposed a contiguous mask to allocate contiguous port-set. And the draft is a merged version of 
draft-wu-dhc-port-set-option-00 and draft-bajko-pripaddrassign-04. The authors have reached the consensus to use mask for contiguous port-set allocation, which is easy to implement both for client and server.

Best Regards!

The DHC working group is proposing to work on a way to convey a port range to a device which shares IP addresses, using DHCP.   Anything more than that would definitely be out of scope for DHC.
