Such devices may have their link-layer addresses assigned in an automated fashion. With sufficient scale, the likelihood of a collision using random assignment without duplication detection is not acceptable. Therefore, an allocation mechanism is required. This document proposes an extension to DHCPv6 that allows a scalable approach to link-layer address assignments where preassigned link-layer address assignments (such as by a manufacturer) are not possible or are unnecessary.', changed pages to 18, changed standardization level to Proposed Standard, changed state to RFC, added RFC published event at 2020-12-01, changed IESG state to RFC Published) |
