Abstract:
This document analyzes the scenario in which DHCPv4 interaction is
performed over IP-IP tunnel, and proposes methods to keep DHCP
working under such situation. The main issue is encapsulation of
DHCP packets on server side, and there are both in-protocol and out-
of-protocol solutions for this issue. The in-protocol solution is to
have DHCP carrying the encapsulation address information, and the
out-of-protocol solution is to have the DHCP server keeping track of
the address mapping by inspecting DHCP packets.
