Mikael, >In the case of getting address using DHCPv6, there is also no direct >connection between the default route and the SA, as the DHCPv6 server >might be different from the default-route gw? It's the IPv6 default router for the DHCPv6 client that sends a RA with the M-bit set and seeing such an RA the client initiates DHCPv6. Or the client could initiate DHCPv6 even on receiving an RA with the M-bit cleared. But the fact still remains that the DHCPv6 client did receive an RA from the IPv6 first-hop router to the client. The client is supposed to perform router discovery and send RS. The RA lets the client know what the default router is. If I missed anything, perhaps if you could please draw a diagram and let us know what specific use case I missed.
