Hi,
I have a question or two to the draft authors who can hopefully clarify
the expected context and working of this scheme, which at the moment is
a bit unclear.
In essence the problem this draft appears to be trying to solve is using
RS/RA messages to induce state into intermediate or IP edge devices like
what is done for DHCP, with the LIO being used to induce such state. All
this is presumably meant to take place following an RS message sent by a
client. Thus, my questions are:
How does this solution cope in a case where the client does not send an
RS? (or the RS sending has timed out)?
The first sign of life from the client is either an RS or a DHCPv6
message. If the network does not see either of the messages, there will
be no address allocated/prefix advertised to the client. The client will
not have any connectivity.
Thanks
Suresh
