This draft proposes a new DHCP Option for providing an endpoint with a Location-by-Reference (LbyR) URI, facilitating location dereferencing or sharing for location discovery. It introduces a Valid-For field for URI validity and addresses harmful URI types. The document aligns with the WG's intent for a lower-layer solution beyond L7.

... It’s been a hell of a week!! ...obviously this is all in jest (NOT!!)
The Requirement • The WG in Prague agreed to create a lower-layer-than-L7 solution to provide an endpoint with an appropriate LbyR URI for that endpoint. • This doc creates a DHCP Option to deliver an LbyR URI to a client • either dereference it’s location or • hand out to other entities to learn this client’s location (which is now the Target)
The Proposal • To create a new (simple) DHCP Option for delivery of a LbyR URI 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Code XXX | Option Length | Valid-for(NEW) | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Location URI | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ / .... \ \ .... / +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Location URI (cont'd) + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
What’s Changed between -01 and -02 • Added a Valid-For field, indicating (in seconds) this URI should be considered valid • A refresh will resolve this • Make it clear a DHCP may or may not be co-located with a LIS • Communication between these entities out-of-scope • BTW target rules are not communicated over DHCP • Made it clearer ‘this doc does not address what’s done outside DHCP’ • Started section about harmful URI types • Will expand this section on advice from Apps AD
Next Steps • The WG hummed (in Prague) for an IETF, lower-than-L7 solution • Does this doc meet that WG request? • If so, I ask this become a WG doc to progress • Obviously will incorporate consensus reaching suggestions into doc
