Re: [dhcwg] Adoption Call for draft-dhcwg-dhc-rfc8415bis-00- Respond by Nov 18, 2022

I support the adoption as a co-author. I cannot see a single reason why not. This document is mainly moving DHCPv6 from proposed standard into BCP. The enhancements are also based on the practise from last several years.

Hi:

Not sure how much it counts as I did many of the edits from RFC8415 for this bis draft, but I strongly support adoption by the WG of this document.

It would be great to get input from others on the changes as well as the few areas I had pointed out when announcing publication if the draft to the WG:

A few areas to consider during your review: - Should we reduce some of the background material, such as sections 1.1 and 1.2 and/or 3. - Should we remove all text related to even checking for unicast transmissions and even deprecate the UseMulticast status code. I think the only case that can end up with unicast at a 8415bis server would be if the server had been sending Server-Unicast option and is then upgraded as existing (pre8415bis clients) may then unicast … but likely if the upgraded server just accepted the message, there would not really be any harm. A 8415bis client that always multicasts should never run into problems (and thus get the UseMulticast status). The 8415bis server would never need to check if unicast. - The Acknowledgements section has XXX, as (your) names will be inserted here as work on the document continues.

Hello:

We would like initiating a WG call for adoption on draft-dhcwg-dhc-rfc8415bis-00.&nbsp; This document is an updated version of the DHCPv6 base specification with the intention of advancing to Internet standard.

This starts the call for adoption of this document. Please respond by November 18, 2022.

Thanks in advance for your consideration of whether the WG should or should not adopt this document as a work item.

Thanks,
