Configuration parameters and other control information are - carried in tagged data items that are stored in the 'options' field - of the DHCP message. The data items themselves are also called - "options." - - This document describes the procedure for defining new DHCP options. - The procedure will guarantee that: - - * allocation of new option numbers is coordinated from a single - authority, - * new options are reviewed for technical correctness and - appropriateness, and - * documentation for new options is complete and published. - - - - - - - -Droms [Page 1] - -DRAFT Procedure for Defining New DHCP Options February 1996 - - -Procedure - - The author of a new DHCP option will follow these steps to obtain - acceptance of the option as a part of the DHCP Internet Standard: - - 1. The author devises the new option. - 2. The author requests a number for the new option from IANA. - 3. The author documents the new option, using the newly obtained - option number, as an Internet Draft. - 4. The author submits the Internet Draft for review through the IETF - standards process as defined in "Internet Official Protocol - Standards" (STD 1). The new option will be submitted for eventual - acceptance as an Internet Standard. - 5. The new option progresses through the IETF standards process; the - new option will be reviewed by the Dynamic Host Configuration - Working Group (if that group still exists), or as an Internet - Draft not submitted by an IETF working group. - 6. If the new option fails to gain acceptance as an Internet - Standard, the assigned option number will be returned to IANA for - reassignment. - -Acceptance and publication - - If this procedure is accepted, it will be added to the DHCP options - specification as an Appendix. - -Security Considerations - - Security issues are not discussed in this memo. - -Author's Address - - Ralph Droms - Computer Science Department - 323 Dana Engineering - Bucknell University - Lewisburg, PA 17837 - - Phone: (717) 524-1145 - EMail: droms@bucknell.edu - - - - - - - - - - - -Droms [Page 2] - |
