Why is it needed? This destination address could either be configured manually, automatically or provided by application signaling.All these options have issues: Manual configuration is always a painful exercise and requires that the user interface supports the configuration of that address Automatic configuration requires that the address is provided via DHCP option (a new DHCP option, inside the vendor option parameter or in a site option); and obviously the host's DHCP server needs to support the required option Getting the address via application messaging might require application changes, and this could impact a lot of applications. |
