Hi All,
We need to officially withdraw draft-ietf-dhc-unused-optioncodes
from the publication queue.
After IESG approval, we discovered that three of the option codes
listed in this document are, in fact, in use by Apple. See
attached message for details.
We will update the document to remove these options and resubmit
it. We also plan to modify the IANA considerations section to
indicate that the deprecated option numbers should not be resused
until the unallocated numbers are exhausted.
Please let me or Thomas know if you have any questions or
concerns about this.
Thanks,
Margaret

Hello,
I noticed the following internet draft:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dhc-unused-optioncodes -06.txt
in which it proposes re-using some options that we're using here at
Apple.
In particular, we are using (and have been using for several releases):
2.7 LDAP Servers
Code: 95
Name: LDAP Servers
Defined in: (none)
Contact: (none)
Reason to recover: Never published as Internet-Draft
2.13 Netinfo Parameters
Codes: 112, 113
Name: Netinfo Address, Netinfo Tag
Defined in: (none)
Contact: Marc Majka
Reason to recover: Never published as Internet-Draft
We also recently started using:
2.14 URL
Code: 114
Name: URL
Defined in: (none)
Contact: Vinod Valloppillil
Reason to recover: Never published as Internet-Draft
I'd like to request that these not be returned to the unassigned pool
to give us time to formally document how they are defined, and that
they are being used.
Sincerely,
Dieter Siegmund
