DHCPv6 can operate either in place of or in addition to\r\nstateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC).\r\n\r\nThis document obsoletes RFC 8415. It incorporates verified errata and\r\nobsoletes the assignment of temporary addresses (the IA_TA option)\r\nand the server unicast capability (the Server Unicast option and\r\nUseMulticast status code).","pub_date":"January 2026","keywords":["DHCPv6","IPv6","DHCP"],"obsoletes":["RFC8415"],"obsoleted_by":[],"updates":[],"updated_by":[],"see_also":["STD0102"],"doi":"10.17487\/RFC9915","errata_url":null}
