Dear all,

A new draft draft-jiang-csi-cga-config-dhcpv6 had been submitted to CSI WG
in May. We did not post an announcement in maillist since it was not covered
by current WG charter. This work is mainly for CGA. It extends DHCPv6 to
serve CGA configuration and generation scenarios. So we do wish CSI could
handle it.

Please view and comments. Many thanks.

Best regards,

Sheng

> Abstract:
> A Cryptographically Generated Address (CGA) is an IPv6 
> addresses binding with a public/private key pair. However, 
> the current CGA specifications are lack of procedures to 
> enable proper management of CGA generation. Administrators 
> should be able to configure parameters used to generate CGA. 
> The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for
> IPv6 (DHCPv6), which enables network management to 
> dynamically configure hosts, can be used in the CGA 
> configuration. Furthermore, CGA generation consumes large 
> computation power. This computational burden can be delegated 
> to the DHCPv6 server. A new DHCPv6 options are also defined 
> in this document to enable hosts delegate CGA generation to a 
> DHCPv6 server.
