Similarly, IPv6 hosts may use stateless autoconfig, and so may not need DHCPv6 for addressing. However, even if addresses aren't needed, DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 might still be used to obtain configuration information. Check out: draft-ietf-zeroconf-ipv4-linklocal-04.txt for more info on IPv4 linklocal addressing. _______________________________________________ dhcwg mailing list dhcwg@ietf.org http://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dhcwg
