A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Dynamic Host Configuration Working Group of the IETF. Title : Requirements for Extending DHCP into New Environments Author(s) : A. McAuley, S. Das, S. Baba, Y. Shobatake Filename : draft-ietf-dhc-enhance-requirements-00.txt Pages : 15 Date : 10-Mar-00 The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a widely deployed framework for host registration and configuration [DHC]. DHCP, however, was designed only for fixed hosts on physically secure LANs. Other protocols fill some of the gap. PPP [PPP] is a good solution for many commercial service providers (where framing is needed). Mobile IP [MIP] is ideal for registering and configuring roaming users (when transparent address binding is needed). This still leaves many environments where there is no ideal solution, such as: roaming users who do not need transparent address binding e.g., a mobile web browser), and commercial service providers who want to support home networking with multiple nodes. This draft proposes DHCP as the best protocol to meet these new needs, because it leave open how (and whether) to provide other functions, such as framing (e.g., PPP), locating (e.g., Mobile IP in co-located mode), inter-domain AAA (e.g., [AAAR]), or address distribution (e.g., [DAAP]). We describe and solicit feedback on seven new requirements that would be placed on DHCP to meet these needs.

A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dhc-enhance-requirements-00.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
