  1. Time Protocol Servers and Time Offset options for DHCPv6 Ralph Droms

  2. Background • Both options based on DHCPv4 options (RFC 2132): – Time Server Option (option code 4): “a list of RFC 868 time servers” – Time Offset (option code 2): “offset of the client's subnet in seconds from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)” • Both requested by CableLabs for DOCSIS 3.0 specification 2005/11/08 dhc WG, IETF 64 2

  3. Time Servers option • Returns list of available RFC 868 Time Protocol servers to client – Listed in preference order – Must be unicast or anycast • Format: 0 0 1 2 2 3 0 0 1 2 2 3 3 4 5 5 6 6 7 8 8 9 9 0 1 1 2 2 3 4 4 5 5 6 7 7 8 8 9 0 0 1 1 2 3 3 4 4 5 6 6 7 7 8 9 9 0 0 1 +- +-+-+ -+-+- +-+-+ -+-+- +-+-+ -+-+- +-+-+ -+-+- +-+-+ -+-+- +-+-+ -+-+- +-+-+ -+-+- +-+-+ -+-+- +-+-+ -+-+- +-+-+ -+-+- +-+-+ -+ | | O OPTI TION_ N_RFC FC868 68_SE SERVE VER | 1 16 * * nu numbe ber-o -of-s -serv rvers rs | | +- +-+-+ -+-+- +-+-+ -+-+- +-+-+ -+-+- +-+-+ -+-+- +-+-+ -+-+- +-+-+ -+-+- +-+-+ -+-+- +-+-+ -+-+- +-+-+ -+-+- +-+-+ -+-+- +-+-+ -+ | | se serve ver-a -addr dress ss1 | | . . 2005/11/08 dhc WG, IETF 64 . 3

  4. Time Offset option • Specifies the offset in seconds from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) that the client should use to determine its local time – 32 bit signed integer for positive and negative offset – assumes DHCP server has knowledge of client offset or location
