> Prefix delegation is a feature used by routers, not by hosts. I don't understand this point as it relates to the question of whether/not DHCPv6 will be needed, and the more I think about it the more irrelevant it seems. Prefix delegation is a feature used by clients of a prefix delegation server - in DHCPv6, they are the DHCP client and DHCP server. What the client actually *does* with any delegated prefixes is up to the client and there is no reason to pre-suppose that it will necessarily behave as a router.
Again, the question is whether there is (or will be) a way of doing prefix delegation w/o DHCPv6? (If so, would it be any better than DHCPv6 - or just different?)
