[dhcwg] FW: I-D ACTION:draft-joshi-dhc-l2ra-00.txt

[Bharat Joshi <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

       Based on the feedback received in last IETF and on mailing list, we have created a document that provides information on Layer 2 Relay Agent functionality and describes the changes in DHCP server, Relay Agents because of the introduction of Layer 2 Relay Agent in different network scenarios.

      Please review this document and let us know your comments/suggestions.

Thanks & Regards,
Bharat

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.


        Title           : Layer 2 Relay Agent Information
        Author(s)       : B. Joshi, P. Kurapati
        Filename        : draft-joshi-dhc-l2ra-00.txt
        Pages           : 18

   In some networks, DHCP servers rely on Relay Agent Information option
   appended by Relay Agents for IP address and other parameter
   assignment policies.  This works fine when End Hosts are directly
   connected to Relay Agents.  In some network configurations, one or
   more Layer 2 devices may reside between DHCP clients and Relay agent.
   In these network scenarios, it is difficult to use the Relay Agent
   Information option for IP address and other parameter assignment
   policies effectively.  So there is a need for the closest Layer 2
   device to append Relay Agent Information option in DHCP messages.
   These devices are typically known as Layer 2 Relay Agents.

   This document aims to describe the network scenarios where Layer 2
   Relay Agent is in use and also how it handles DHCP messages.

NOTE:   The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
        MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
        feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
        command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
        a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
        exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
        "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
        up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
        how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
