IPv6 hosts using Stateless Address Autoconfiguration are able toconfigure their IPv6 address and default router settingsautomatically. However, further settings are not available. If thesehosts wish to configure their DNS, NTP, or other specific settingsautomatically, the stateless variant of the Dynamic Host ConfigurationProtocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) could be used. This combination ofStateless Address Autoconfiguration and stateless DHCPv6 could be usedquite commonly in IPv6 networks. However, hosts using this combinationcurrently have no means by which to be informed of changes instateless DHCPv6 option settings; e.g., the addition of a new NTPserver address, a change in DNS search paths, or full siterenumbering. This document is presented as a problem statement fromwhich a solution should be proposed in a subsequent document. Thismemo provides information for the Internet community.
