Hi Ole I am a little bit confused what we are talking about. Our draft is necessary when there is no SLAAC.
Could you elaborate your viewpoints?

I don't think that deployment is good idea. that's how the IPv6 protocols are designed. from the beginning. that's how all DHCPv6 managed networks run today. I don't see the problem? cheers, Ole _______________________________________________ dhcwg mailing list dh...@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dhcwg -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
