The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'DHCP on IEEE 1394' <draft-ietf-ip1394-dhcp-04.txt> as a Proposed Standard. This document is the product of the IP Over IEEE 1394 Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Erik Nordmark and Thomas Narten. Technical Summary IEEE Std 1394-1995 is a standard for a High Performance Serial Bus. Since 1394 uses a different link-layer addressing method than conventional IEEE802/Ethernet (i.e, an interface's link-layer address may change over time), the usage of some fields must be clarified to achieve interoperability. This memo describes the 1394 specific usage of some fields of DHCP messages. Working Group Summary This document was discussed in both the ip1394 and dhc working groups. There was consensus for the approach taken in this document. Protocol Quality This specification has been reviewed for the IESG by Thomas Narten.
