Active DHCPv4 Lease Query
Abstract
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv4 (DHCPv4) has been
extended with a Leasequery capability that allows a requestor to
request information about DHCPv4 bindings (RFC 4388). That mechanism
is limited to queries for individual bindings. In some situations,
individual binding queries may not be efficient, or even possible.
In addition, continuous update of an external requestor with
Leasequery data is sometimes desired. This document expands on the
DHCPv4 Leasequery protocol, and allows for active transfer of near
real-time DHCPv4 binding information data via TCP. This document
updates RFC 6926, "DHCPv4 Bulk Leasequery".
