Abstract

There are any number of ways that IPv6 hosts can discover information required to enable name resolution, in the absence of a DHCP server. This document discusses the issues and provides a taxonomy of possible solutions, and evaluates them against various design criteria. Finally, it provides recommendations as input to the standards process.
