Title : Captive-Portal Identification in DHCP / RA

Abstract:
In many environments offering short-term or temporary Internet access
(such as coffee shops), it is common to start new connections in a
captive portal mode. This highly restricts what the customer can do
until the customer has authenticated.
This document describes a DHCP option (and a Router Advertisement
(RA) extension) to inform clients that they are behind some sort of
captive-portal device, and that they will need to authenticate to get
Internet access. It is not a full solution to address all of the
issues that clients may have with captive portals; it is designed to
be used in larger solutions. The method of authenticating to, and
interacting with the captive portal is out of scope of this document.
