Re: [dhcwg] WGLC for draft-ietf-dhc-addr-notification - Respond by December 11, 2023

[Jen Linkova <[e-mail]>]

The WGLC has been uncomfortably quiet, so we've just submitted -07
(https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-dhc-addr-notification-07.html)
to address an oscillation problem: if some servers support the
registration and some don't, the client might turn the registration on
and off, depending on the order of arriving Replies.
While it's not the end of the world, I think it's rather undesirable.
The new text says that the client always register if at least one
server returns the OPTION_ADDR_REG_ENABLE option, and say the client
MUST stop
registering if that server stops returning the option.
Basically, as long as at least one server supports the registration,
the client will be sending messages, but it's still possible for the
administrator to turn the registration off.

Comments?
