DHCPv6 as defined in "Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6                       
(DHCPv6)" (RFC 3315) does not offer server redundancy.  This document
defines a protocol implementation to provide DHCPv6 failover, a
mechanism for running two servers with the capability for either
server to take over clients' leases in case of server failure or
network partition.  It meets the requirements for DHCPv6 failover
detailed in "DHCPv6 Failover Requirements" (RFC 7031).

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

This is now a Proposed Standard.

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 Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the 
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this 
memo is unlimited.
