A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries.
RFC 1532:
Title: Clarifications and Extensions for the Bootstrap
Protocol
Author: W. Wimer
Mailbox: Walter.Wimer@CMU.EDU
Pages: 22
Characters: 51,545
Updates: 951
Some aspects of the BOOTP protocol were rather loosely defined in its
original specification. In particular, only a general description was
provided for the behavior of "BOOTP relay agents" (originally called
BOOTP forwarding agents"). The client behavior description also
suffered in certain ways. This memo attempts to clarify and
strengthen the specification in these areas. This RFC is the product
of the Dynamic Host Configuration Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
This RFC specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" for the standardization state and status
of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.
Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list
should be sent to IETF-REQUEST@CNRI.RESTON.VA.US. Requests to be added
to or deleted from the RFC-DIST distribution list should be sent to
RFC-REQUEST@NIC.DDN.MIL.
