Why would there be a "MUST"? The O/M bits are just hints what the node could do as an alternate configuration mechanism, in case it doesn't see any RA containing prefix option with A=1. If it sees a prefix option with A=1, it can just autoconfigure and ignore O/M bits. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
