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.
