Title : Host Name Resolution Protocol (HNRP) for IPv6 nodes Author(s) : G. Sinniah et al. Filename : draft-gopinath-host-name-resolution- protocol-ipv6-00.txt Pages : 13 Date : 29-Aug-01 This document describes a new method, which will automatically acquire the host name of active IPv6 nodes and register it to the local Domain Name System (DNS) server. Active IPv6 nodes are nodes that are connected to a network. Our proposed new protocol, which is called Host Name Resolution Protocol (HNRP) [6], will automatically learn some useful information from all the IPv6 nodes, such as the host name and the IP address. All the information will be kept by HRRP and the host name together with the IPv6 address will be added to the DNS. This will be implemented without the need for any changes at the clients' site. The objective of this document is to specify the new Host Name Resolution Protocol and also the algorithm used in the protocol.

A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-gopinath-host-name-resolution-protocol-ipv6-00.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
