+Overview
+********
+
+The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) for IPv6 is a network management protocol
+used on IPv6 based networks. A DHCPv6 server dynamically assigns an IPv6 address
+and other network configuration parameters to each device on a network so they
+can communicate with other IP networks.
+See this
+`DHCPv6 Wikipedia article <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCPv6>`_
+for a detailed overview of how DHCPv6 works.
+
+Note that Zephyr only supports DHCPv6 client functionality.
