Hi,

ConnMan supports wifi tethering (through wpa_supplicant) it's a 
lightweight AP mode. No hostapd involved.
This feature is meant for connection sharing. (and it works with bt, 
ethernet etc... not only wifi)

> *       Does connman supports P2P feature?

Yes

> *       Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported in Connman?

Yes

> *       Does connman spawn DHCP client or server based on the interface, i.e

ConnMan does not spawn any process. It embeds a dhcp client and server 
directly and it all works much better than any spawn based solution.

> *       Whether auto-configuration is also supported in connman.

IPv6 autoconf? If so, then yes.

> *       If packet filtering is supported in connnman?

No. It uses a bit of xtables features for nating (for the tethering 
feature), and some other specific uses, but ConnMan is not a packet 
filtering frontend.
