Re: [homenet] Support for RFC 7084 on shipping devices...

2019-10-04 Thread Timothy Winters
Hi Ted,

For the testing that we have conducted at the lab, must typical CE Router
don't support DHCPv6 PD on the LAN as Ole pointed out.   There are a couple
that have this as an additional feature.   I'm not aware of RA-Guard or
Layer-2 filtering being placed on Ethernet networks and haven't seen it but
I must admit it's not something that I have paid attention super close
attention too.   Wireless has a different set of rules, which is a longer
conversation.

Regards,
Tim

It would also be my preference to have this separate from 7084.

Currently we have about 15 to 20 implementations at the IOL that are trying to 
meet the 7084 Requirements, including L-13.   Most routers address issues when 
they are made aware of the problem.

Hi,
For the IPv6 Ready/UNH-IOL testing that we have done, both an 
Interoperability and Conformance, there is a test  makes sure a Router supports 
getting multiple IA_PDs for Prefix Change.

The following draft can from the homenet design team 
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-winters-homenet-sper-interaction-01) tries to 
cover the border scenarios for 6204, 7084 and other routers (SPERs) when 
interacting with the Homenet.   It doesn't cover the case for routers inside a 
homenet but as Steven pointed out that can be two separate border router.
