DHCPv6 Options for Homenet Naming Architecture
2014
CPEs are usually constraint devices with reduced network and CPU
capacities. As such, a CPE hosting on the Internet the authoritative
naming service for its home network may become vulnerable to resource
exhaustion attacks. One way to avoid exposing CPE is to outsource the
authoritative service to a third party. This third party can be the
ISP or any other independent third party. Outsourcing the
authoritative naming service to a third party requires setting up an
architecture which may be unappropriated for most end users. To
leverage this issue, this document proposes DHCP Options so any
agnostic CPE can automatically proceed to the appropriated
configuration and outsource the authoritative naming service for the
home network. This document shows that in most cases, these DHCP
Options make outsourcing to a third party (be it the ISP or any ISP
independent service provider) transparent for the end user.
