RE: [Softwires] Last Call: <draft-ietf-softwire-6rd-radius-attrib-07.txt> (RADIUS Attribute for 6rd) to Proposed Standard

<Roberta> According to section 4.4.5 of RFC 2131:
" At time T1 the client moves to RENEWING state and sends (via unicast)
   a DHCPREQUEST message to the server to extend its lease."
[..]
" If no DHCPACK arrives before time T2, the client moves to REBINDING
   state and sends (via broadcast) a DHCPREQUEST message to extend its
   lease."
The DHCPREQUEST is sent at T1, in my opinion the current text is correct.
</Roberta>


Correct but not accurate. The client enters the rebinding state after T2
expired. 

How about to update the text to be 'If the DHCP server has not replied the
DHCPREQUEST message till T2, the DHCP client enters into the REBINDING state
and attempts to contact any possible server. '?


Best Regards,
Leaf

Hi Leaf,
Section 3 - If the DHCP server to which the DHCP Request message was sent
at time  T1 has not responded, the DHCP client enters the REBINDING state
and  attempts to contact any server.

Per the Figure 5 in RFC2131, the above 'T1' sounds 'T2'.
(http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2131.txt)

Why T2?
According to section 4.4.5 of RFC 2131:
" At time T1 the client moves to RENEWING state and sends (via unicast)
   a DHCPREQUEST message to the server to extend its lease."
[..]

" If no DHCPACK arrives before time T2, the client moves to REBINDING
   state and sends (via broadcast) a DHCPREQUEST message to extend its
   lease."

The DHCPREQUEST is sent at T1, in my opinion the current text is correct.
Thanks
Regards,
Roberta

Section 3 - After the BNG responds to the user with
   an Advertise message, the user requests for a DHCP 6rd Option by
   carrying a Parameter Request option (55) [RFC2132].

Per the Figure 1 in Section 3, the above 'Advertise message' sounds the
DHCPv4 message of 'DHCPOFFER (2)'.

Section 3 - If the DHCP server to which the DHCP Request message was sent at
time
   T1 has not responded, the DHCP client enters the REBINDING state and
   attempts to contact any server.

Per the Figure 5 in RFC2131, the above 'T1' sounds 'T2'.

The IESG has received a request from the Softwires WG (softwire) to consider
the following document:
- 'RADIUS Attribute for 6rd'
  <draft-ietf-softwire-6rd-radius-attrib-07.txt> as Proposed Standard

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final
comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org mailing lists by 2012-11-29. Exceptionally, comments 
may be

Abstract


   IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6rd) is one of the most popular methods to
   provide both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity services simultaneously
   during the IPv4/IPv6 co-existing period. The Dynamic Host
   Configuration Protocol (DHCP) 6rd option has been defined to
   configure 6rd Customer Edge (CE). However, in many networks, the
   configuration information may be stored in Authentication
   Authorization and Accounting (AAA) servers while user configuration
   is mainly from Broadband Network Gateway (BNG) through DHCP protocol.
   This document defines a Remote Authentication Dial In User Service
   (RADIUS) attribute that carries 6rd configuration information from
   AAA server to BNG.
