1. Summary

        This draft defines a way to configure a parameter set of MPL (Multicast
Protocol for Low power  and Lossy Networks) via DHCPv6 option.  MPL has a
set of parameters to control its behavior, and the  parameter set is often
configured as a network-wide parameter because the parameter set should be
identical for each MPL forwarder in an MPL domain.  Using the MPL Parameter
Configuration Option defined in this document, a network can be configured
with a single set of MPL parameter easily.

        The Intended RFC status is Proposed Standard, because this document
defines a way to distribute parameter sets for MPL forwarders as a DHCPv6
option.

2. Review and Consensus

Version 08 addresses the comments done in the IESG review.

Int-Dir review was done, ticket #171 created for this.
IESG comments and IANA should be addressed in version 06.
Gen ART, Secdir and AD comments were addressed in version 06. A reference to
rfc6422 (suggested by AD) is not present in version 06

        This document was reviewed in ROLL and DHC WGs, DHC Chair Bernie
Volz reviewed the document and was ok with the proposed option format.
During Last Call there were no comments gotten for this draft, but got
consensus in previous threads.

3. Intellectual Property

        Yusuke Doi and Matthew Gilmore confirmed on 05-01-2014 for version
03, version 04 fixed some typos and add IANA information.

4. Other Points

Note any downward references (see RFC 3967) and whether they appear in
the DOWNREF Registry
(http://trac.tools.ietf.org/group/iesg/trac/wiki/DownrefRegistry), as these
need to be announced during Last Call.

        [I-D.ietf-roll-trickle-mcast] is as Normative Reference, which have
new issues that are being addressed by the authors.

Check the IANA Considerations for clarity and against the checklist below.
Note any registrations that require expert review, and say what's been done
to have them reviewed before last call.  Note any new registries that are
created by this document and briefly describe the working group's discussion
that led to the selection of the allocation procedures and policies (see RFC
5226) that were selected for them. If any new registries require expert review
for future allocations, provide any public guidance that the IESG would find
useful in selecting the designated experts (private comments may be sent to the
Area Director separately).

        IANA Section references the specific registry and table

Explain anything else that the IESG might need to know when reviewing this
document. If there is significant discontent with the document or the process,
which might result in appeals to the IESG or especially bad feelings in the
working group, explain this in a separate email message to the responsible Area
Director.

        Not apply.

Idnits executed, no relevant comments.
