OSPFv3 Autoconfiguration
Abstract
OSPFv3 is a candidate for deployments in environments where
autoconfiguration is a requirement. One such environment is the IPv6
home network where users expect to simply plug in a router and have
it automatically use OSPFv3 for intra-domain routing. This document
describes the necessary mechanisms for OSPFv3 to be self-configuring.
This document updates RFC 5340 by relaxing the HelloInterval/
RouterDeadInterval checking during OSPFv3 adjacency formation and
adding hysteresis to the update of self-originated Link State
Advertisements (LSAs).

RFC 7503 OSPFv3 Autoconfiguration April 2015
1. Introduction
OSPFv3 [OSPFV3] is a candidate for deployments in environments where
autoconfiguration is a requirement. This document describes
extensions to OSPFv3 to enable it to operate in these environments.
In this mode of operation, the protocol is largely unchanged from the
base OSPFv3 protocol specification [OSPFV3]. Since the goals of
autoconfiguration and security can be conflicting, operators and
network administrators should carefully consider their security
requirements before deploying the solution described in this
document. Refer to Section 8 for more information.
The following aspects of OSPFv3 autoconfiguration are described in
