Re: [dhcwg] RE: [Mip6] [Updated] DHCP Option for HomeInformationDiscovery inMIPv6

[Vijay Devarapalli <[e-mail]>]

(left out the DHC WG from the cc list).

there is one issue.

draft-jang just does not define the DHCP options. it goes further.
abstract of draft-jang says

    This draft defines a DHCP-based scheme to enable dynamic discovery of
    Mobile IPv6 home agent address, home address, and home subnet.  New
    DHCP options are defined to carry the information from a DHCP server
    to the DHCP client running on the mobile node.

section 4.2 further goes and ahead and specifies mobile node
behavior. the draft just does not define the options. it is also
incomplete because it neither describes the scope of the problem
it is trying to address nor gives a complete solution.

we can't have two documents that both describe how to use DHCP
for MIP6 bootstrapping.
