This is implementation specific. It is important to respond. Whether the server keeps an Transaction ID cache and responds from that or reprocesses the packet is really a server implementation issue. - Bernie -----Original Message----- From: Raymond Jayaraj [mailto:raymondjayaraj@yahoo.com.sg] Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2002 10:27 PM To: dhcwg@ietf.org Cc: jraymond@icr.a-star.edu.sg Subject: [dhcwg] How should a DHCPv6 server respond to retransmitted packets Hi all, How should a server respond to retransmitted packets received after a REPLY packet is sent, e.g.: DHC6CLIENT DHC6SERVER INFOSERVER | | (e.g. LDAP) | | | |1)INFO-REQ | | |>>> | | | >>> | | | >>> | | | >>> | | | >>>|2)processing/retrieve info |3)INFO-REQ |>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>| |>>> |<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<| | >>> <<<| | | >>><<< | | | <<<>>> | | | <<< >>>| | |<<< 4)REPLY |5)??? | What should (5) be? Should the server: a) drop (3) and subsequent duplicates (base on transaction id). b) reprocess the request and retransmit the reply, i.e. do (2)&(4) again. c) retransmit the reply, i.e. do (4) again. d) do any of the above (implementation specific). No indication for the above could be found in the draft. I suspect it should be a) or d), but it'd be nice to know for sure. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Raymond J.
