> There is no ND at all, that is, no NA/NS/RA/RS etc. the document you references states that ND is used like for any other IPv6 link. where do you get the "no ND" from?
as a thought experiment, how would a link without ND function? how do you do router discovery, and address resolution? > You can check the document Sheng sent out in previous > emails. In WiMAX, DHCPv6 is mandatory while ND is optional. > In a word, in some scenarios, DHCPv6 is the only way > to configure IP address. can you give me the reference in the document. as far as I can see it states no such thing. what it does mention is "prefix management" on the AR. for that you can use IA_PD. > By the way, operators are more familiar to DHCP than ND, > and they get used to DHCP for address management. no-one is saying that you cannot use DHCPV6 address management. that is already supported with todays specifications. > You are right that we should avoid duplicate mechanisms > for the SAME scenario. However, this is different. I may be somewhat dense, could someone else try to explain to me what the scenario is? cheers, Ole -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
