draft-ietf-pcp-proxy-02
Abstract

Clients can not be configured with the address of the PCP Server
located more than one hop.

Internet-Draft PCP Proxy February 2013
1. Introduction
This document defines a new PCP [I-D.ietf-pcp-base] function element,
called PCP Proxy, which is meant to facilitate the communication
between a PCP Client and upstream PCP Server(s). The PCP Proxy acts
as a PCP Server receiving PCP requests on internal interfaces, and as
a PCP Client forwarding accepted PCP requests on an external
interface to a PCP Server. The PCP Server in turn sends PCP
responses to the PCP Proxy external interface which are finally
forwarded to PCP Clients. A reference architecture is depicted in
Figure 1.
A PCP Proxy can be for instance embedded in a CP (Customer Premises)
