Aboba, Ed. Microsoft Corporation July 2011 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Options for Coordinate-Based Location Configuration Information Abstract This document specifies Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol options (both DHCPv4 and DHCPv6) for the coordinate-based geographic location of the client. The Location Configuration Information (LCI) includes Latitude, Longitude, and Altitude, with resolution or uncertainty indicators for each. Separate parameters indicate the reference datum for each of these values. This document obsoletes RFC 3825. Status of This Memo This is an Internet Standards Track document.
