Abstract:
This document specifies an experimental DHCPv6 default route option
which provisions static routing information to client nodes. The
option facilitates central configuration of a multi-access client
node's default router list with the IPv6 address, MAC address, and
lifetime of the route, which is preferred in certain multi-access
network environments. In addition, the DHCP option defined in this
document can provide operational simplicity in network coverage
extension scenarios using inexpensive (and limited resource)
consumer-grade equipment. Finally, the proposed DHCP option has been
implemented and tested in practice; its experimental use points to
benefits with respect to reduced signaling and energy consumption
compared to existing default route configuration mechanisms.
