I support Christian's suggestion; they should be just hints. No flag is going to force the node to run a protocol. More often than not, for implementation simplicity, I'd guess most nodes (especially where DHCPv6 is available), the nodes are going to run DHCPv6(-lite) in any case, whether they saw a flag or not. On the other hand, absence of a flag is not going to prevent a node from running a protocol. -- Pekka Savola "You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oy kingdom bleeds." Systems. Networks.
