Just a friendly reminder ... First 6 month notification period ends soon! Hi: A new RFC was recently issued, RFC 3942 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3942.txt): "Reclassifying DHCPv4 Options". The document is a product of the IETF DHC WG and expands the range of DHCPv4 option numbers that are in the IETF/IANA assignable range. The expanded public range reduces the site-specific options range that was originally defined in RFC 2132.. Old ranges New ranges IETF/IANA assignable: 1-127 1-223 Site-specific: 128-254 224-254 So, why might you care about this? Many vendors have used "site-specific" options in the range 128-254 for vendor-specific purposes in shipping products. And, now that IANA can assign options numbers in the range 128-223 to future Internet Standard options, we need your assistance to prevent potential conflicts in the use of option codes in the newly expanded range. RFC 3942 has a mechanism whereby IANA will not assign any option codes in the newly expanded range, 128-223, for 6 months (this period will end in May 2005). During this 6 month period, vendors using options in the 128-223 range should come forward to let IANA and the DHC WG know of their use. IANA can be contacted at mailto:iana@iana.org and the IETF DHC WG can be contacted at mailto:dhcwg@ietf.org. The vendor will also need to write an Internet Draft documenting that usage and advance that draft to an RFC. The Internet Draft can either be written by the vendor or by the vendor providing the material for documenting their usage to Bernie Volz (mailto:volz@cisco.com) for inclusion in a general draft documenting several options. Once the Internet Draft has been published, it will be, at the vendor's discretion, published as an Informational RFC or entered into standards track for publication as an Internet Standard RFC. Therefore, please pass this email on as appropriate and contact Bernie Volz for more information. - Bernie Volz _______________________________________________ dhcwg mailing list dhcwg@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dhcwg
