A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 8947 Title: Link-Layer Address Assignment Mechanism for DHCPv6 Author: B. Volz, T. Mrugalski, C. Bernardos Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: December 2020 Mailbox: volz@cisco.com, tomasz.mrugalski@gmail.com, cjbc@it.uc3m.es Pages: 18 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-dhc-mac-assign-09.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8947 DOI: 10.17487/RFC8947 In certain environments, e.g., large-scale virtualization deployments, new devices are created in an automated manner. Such devices may have their link-layer addresses assigned in an automated fashion. With sufficient scale, the likelihood of a collision using random assignment without duplication detection is not acceptable. Therefore, an allocation mechanism is required. This document proposes an extension to DHCPv6 that allows a scalable approach to link-layer address assignments where preassigned link-layer address assignments (such as by a manufacturer) are not possible or are unnecessary. This document is a product of the Dynamic Host Configuration Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
