   Port Control Protocol (PCP) provides a mechanism to pre-configure a
   port on a NAT device, a firewall, etc., so that IP packets of
   applications initiated from network side can be "port forwarded" to
   the correct user.  PCP is a client-server protocol and the PCP client
   needs to be provisioned with the FQDN of the server.  In a broadband
   network, customer information is usually stored on a RADIUS server
   and DHC protocol is used to populate user's configuration
   information.  This memo proposes a new RADIUS attribute to carry the
   FQDN of a PCP server, such that while the PCP server information is
   configured on a RADIUS server, the information can be conveyed to NAS
   via RADIUS protocol, and the co-located DHCP/DHCPv6 server can then
   populate the information to PCP client.
