Ballot Text

Technical Summary:

   This document specifies a new PCP functional element denoted as a PCP
   Proxy.  The PCP Proxy relays PCP requests received from PCP clients
   to upstream PCP server(s).  A typical deployment usage of this
   function is to help establish successful PCP communications for PCP
   clients that can not be configured with the address of a PCP server
   located more than one hop away.

Working Group Summary:

    The WG has consensus on this document, nothing particularly rough.

Document Quality:

    It is unknown whether there are existing implementations, although
    the existence of this draft was motivated by experience from Apple's
    implementation.
