DHCPv4 Bulk Leasequery
Abstract
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv4 (DHCPv4) Leasequery
protocol allows a requestor to request information about DHCPv4
bindings. This protocol is limited to queries for individual
bindings. In some situations, individual binding queries may not be
efficient or even possible. This document extends the DHCPv4
Leasequery protocol to allow for bulk transfer of DHCPv4 address
binding data via TCP.
