RFC 5460: DHCPv6 Bulk Leasequery

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 7653. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) has been extended with a Leasequery capability that allows a client to request information about DHCPv6 bindings. That mechanism is limited to queries for individual bindings. In some situations individual binding queries may not be efficient, or even possible. This document expands on the Leasequery protocol, adding new query types and allowing for bulk transfer of DHCPv6 binding data via TCP. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
