Abstract:
Address support and network address transparency may be provided. First, a border device may receive a processed network configuration parameter request having an address of a subnet to which a client device is associated and information data in an information field of the network configuration parameter request. The information data may comprise an address of a network device and an identifier of the subnet to which the client device is associated. Next, the border device may encapsulate the processed network configuration parameter request with the information data extracted from the processed network configuration parameter request. The border device may then forward the encapsulated network configuration parameter response to the network device.
