Received changes through RFC Editor sync (created alias RFC 8947, changed title to 'Link-Layer Address Assignment Mechanism for DHCPv6', changed abstract to 'In certain environments, e.g., large-scale virtualization deployments, new devices are created in an automated manner.  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)
