Alain, In your deployment, you probably control the host as well and hence can choose DHCPv6 as the only mechanism for address assignment. This works fine in such an environment. But not in an environment where many different types of hosts with different capabilities could attach to the network.
Is there a logical argument for not allowing hosts to configure addresses via SLAAC? -Raj On 9/28/07 9:01 AM, "ext Alain Durand" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Coming late into this discussion... > > In our deployment which concern a very large number of devices (many > millions), we will use DHCPv6 only. > > In our internal infrastructure, we are planning to use mostly DHCPv6 on > servers and manual config for anything where DHCPv6 may not make sense, eg > routers. > > 0% stateless autoconf. > > - Alain. > > > > On 9/24/07 4:12 AM, "Tim Chown" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> On Wed, Sep 19, 2007 at 02:37:33PM -0700, Bob Hinden wrote: >>>>> > >> >>>>> > >>I and I suspect others took it as a serious question.
