Abstract

This document describes a mechanism for networks with legacy IPv4-only clients to use services provided by DHCPv4 over DHCPv6 in a Relay Agent. RFC 7341 specifies the use of DHCPv4 over DHCPv6 in the client only. This document specifies an approach based on RFC 7341 that allows a Relay Agent to implement the DHCPv4-over-DHCPv6 encapsulation and decapsulation of DHCPv4 messages in DHCPv6 messages on behalf of a DHCPv4 client.
