[v6ops] IPv6-Only Preferred DHCPv4 option

[Jen Linkova <[e-mail]>]

Hello,

One of the biggest issue in deploying IPv6-only LANs is how to do it
incrementally, when some hosts work just fine in NAT64 environment
while some legacy devices still need IPv4. Doubling the number of
network segments (having an IPv6-only and dual-stack segments of each
type) is an operational nightmare. So it would be just awesome if all
devices can co-exist in the same network segment and hosts capable of
operating in IPv6-only environment do not consume IPv4 addresses.
So here is the draft proposing a new DHCPv4 option to help saving IPv4
addresses and deploying IPv4-as-a-service:

Name:           draft-link-dhc-v6only
Revision:       00
Title:          IPv6-Only-Preferred Option for DHCP

Abstract:
   This document specifies a DHCP option to indicate that a host
   supports an IPv6-only mode and willing to forgo obtaining a IPv4
   address if the network provides IPv6 access.

Any comments/suggestions/reviews are highly appreciated!

Adding v6ops@ to Cc: as the problem is related to operating IPv6-only networks.

Thank you!
