RE: [dhcwg] TTL on service addresses

Ralph,

The service addresses are not likely to change frequently.
So, i feel that there is no meaning of having TTL for these
addresses and renewing them once in a while.

Already, we have a mechanism called "reconfiguration", through
which this can be accomplished. Inclusion of TTL will unnecessarily
complicate the client, as it needs to keep track of another timer,
along with the one for IAs.

I think, we can keep the option part as it is, thus, whatever
the service addresses it receive, its going to be valid for
infinite, and server will notify the change, if any, using the
reconfigure-init in course of time

Subject: [dhcwg] TTL on service addresses

At the last WG meeting, we talked about how to add lifetime information to
addresses for services (for example, DNS server addresses).

So, what are the requirements?  Basically, we want to be able to inform the
client the time over which it can expect the service address to be
useful.  The client can then re-contact the server to confirm the continued
validity of those addresses or find out about new service addresses.

Question - is it useful to have a separate lifetime for each service or can
we make a simplification about lifetime information that applies to all of
the services configured on the client?

Are there other requirements?

- Ralph
