This document defines a new DHCPv6 Unique Identifier (DUID) type
called DUID-UUID.  DUID-UUIDs are derived from the already-standardized
Universally Unique IDentifier (UUID) format.  DUID-UUID
makes it possible for devices to use UUIDs to identify themselves to
DHC servers and vice versa.  UUIDs are globally unique and readily
available on many systems, making them convenient identifiers to
leverage within DHCP.  [STANDARDS-TRACK]

This document is a product of the Dynamic Host Configuration Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

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 Internet
Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and
status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
