The following errata report has been submitted for RFC2131,
"Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid6447

--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Adrien de Croy <adrien@qbik.com>

Section: 2.2

Original Text
-------------
a client requests the use of an address for some period of time.  The 
allocation mechanism (the collection of DHCP servers) guarantees not 
to reallocate that address within the requested time

Corrected Text
--------------
a client requests the use of an address for some period of time.  The 
allocation mechanism (the collection of DHCP servers) may or may not be able or willing to grant a lease for the requested duration.  Any lease duration it offers it then guarantees not to reallocate within the offered time

Notes
-----
It is simply ludicrous to imagine that clients are in control of the lease duration, and that servers will simply comply, regardless of resource availability.

Instructions:
-------------
This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or
rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party  
can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary.
