Technical Summary
This document describes the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for
IPv6 (DHCPv6): an extensible mechanism for configuring nodes with
network configuration parameters, IP addresses, and prefixes.
Parameters can be provided statelessly, or in combination with
stateful assignment of one or more IPv6 addresses and/or IPv6
prefixes. DHCPv6 can operate either in place of or in addition to
stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC).
This document obsoletes RFC8415 to incorporate reported errata and to
obsolete the assignment of temporary addresses (the IA_TA option) and
the server unicast capability (the Server Unicast option and
UseMulticast status code).
***RFC 8415 was a proposed standard, this -bis document elevates DHCPv6 to Internet Standard by clarifying the text and removing unused/unimplemented features, i.e., it is suggested that the IESG only review the diffs with RFC 8415, i.e., https://author-tools.ietf.org/iddiff?url1=rfc8415&url2=draft-ietf-dhc-rfc8415bis-07&difftype=--html See also section 2.2 of RFC 6410 ***
