RFC 10038 defines DHCPv6-based SRv6 Locator distribution for Segment Endpoint Nodes
↗
RFC 10038, a Proposed Standard, specifies a method for assigning SRv6 Locators to SRv6 Segment Endpoint Nodes using DHCPv6, automating a provisioning step that was previously underspecified for operator-managed access networks.
Operators building SRv6 backbones need an automated way to assign locators to endpoint nodes, and this RFC standardizes DHCPv6 as that mechanism. The approach is scoped to trusted SR domains with operator-managed CPEs, so it does not apply to unmanaged or multi-tenant environments where trust boundaries differ.

RFC 10038 is an IETF Proposed Standard describing how DHCPv6 distributes SRv6 Locators to Segment Endpoint Nodes.
SRv6 Locators are required because segment identifiers are generated within each locator's address space.
The method assumes a single trusted SR domain with operator-managed CPEs, excluding untrusted or unmanaged deployments.
