| Overview |
| ******** |
| |
| The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) for IPv6 is a network management protocol |
| used on IPv6 based networks. A DHCPv6 server dynamically assigns an IPv6 address |
| and other network configuration parameters to each device on a network so they |
| can communicate with other IP networks. |
| See this |
| `DHCPv6 Wikipedia article <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCPv6>`_ |
| for a detailed overview of how DHCPv6 works. |
| |
| Note that Zephyr only supports DHCPv6 client functionality. |
