Hi all.

I got an question about DHCPv6 vs. DHCPv4 or BOOTP.

While I am reading a DHCPv6 draft(19) I find that the DHCPv6 does not
support bootstrapping information like "boot filename" filed in BOOTP.

In page 60,

     o Some DHCPv4 options are unnecessary now because the configuration
       parameters are either obtained through IPv6 Neighbor Discovery or
       the Service Location protocol [21].

However I can not find any text about bootstrapping in SLP document.
Can anybody point me to the text or information about bootstrapping in IPv6?

Thanks in advance.
