RFC Editor Note

  Please change the title of the document as follows:

  OLD:              
  VoIP Configuration Server Address Option
  NEW:
  VoIP Configuration Server Address Option for DHCPv4

  Please add this to the end of the abstract:

  NEW:
  The option is defined for DHCPv4 and works only with
  IPv4 addresses.

  Please change this in Section 5:

  OLD:
  If this is a concern, then DHCP Authentication may be used.
  NEW:
  If this is a concern, then DHCP Authentication may be used, but
  even secure delivery of an address over DHCP does not protect
  the subsequent insecure download over TFTP.
