Zeroconf networks do not have and should not be expected to have user configurable network infrastructure such as DHCP, DNS and other administered network services. This is because typical zeroconf network users neither have the skill nor the desire to configure, administer or manage a network {[}1{]}. The IETF Zeroconf Requirements draft {[}1{]} presents the zeroconf protocol requirements for 4 areas: IP host configuration, domain name to IP address resolution, IP multicast address allocation, and service discovery. This draft builds on {[}1{]} and lists the zeroconf protocol requirements for IP router configuration and dynamic routing protocol in multi-router zeroconf networks. The IETF Zeroconf Requirements draft {[}1{]} presents the zeroconf protocol requirements for 4 areas: IP host configuration, domain name to IP address resolution, IP multicast address allocation, and service discovery. The most complex network topology addressed by the Zeroconf Requirements document {[}1{]} is a multi-segment zeroconf network connected by a single router. This drafts builds on that draft and lists the zeroconf protocol requirements for IP router configuration and dynamic routing protocols in multi-router zeroconf networks.}, }
