Dear WG, RFC3315 does not define any way to request sub-options (options that do not appear within DHCPv6 message directly, but rather within other options). After discussing this matter with Ted Lemon, I wrote a simple draft that clarifies that multiple instances of ORO may be used for this purpose. Each instance should be placed within specified scope, e.g. within IA_PD or other option, where client expects to receive requested options. The draft is available here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-mrugalski-dhc-dhcpv6-suboptions/ I'd like to ask for your comments and suggestions. If you don't like proposed idea, please provide alternate way for requesting sub-options. Tomek -------- Original Message -------- Subject: New Version Notification for draft-mrugalski-dhc-dhcpv6-suboptions-01 Date: Sun, 17 Apr 2011 12:08:12 -0700 (PDT) From: IETF I-D Submission Tool <idsubmission@ietf.org> To: tomasz.mrugalski@gmail.com A new version of I-D, draft-mrugalski-dhc-dhcpv6-suboptions-01.txt has been successfully submitted by Tomasz Mrugalski and posted to the IETF repository. Filename: draft-mrugalski-dhc-dhcpv6-suboptions Revision: 01 Title: Requesting Suboptions in DHCPv6 Creation_date: 2011-04-17 WG ID: Independent Submission Number_of_pages: 7 Abstract: DHCPv6 clients may use Option Request Option (ORO) defined in RFC3315 [RFC3315] to specify, which options they would like to have configured by DHCPv6 servers. Clients may also be interested in specific options that do not appear in DHCPv6 message directly (top- level options), but rather as nested options or sub-options (i.e. options conveyed within other options). This document clarifies how to use already defined ORO to request specific options within scopes other than top-level. This document updates RFC3315.
