IPv6 WG,Based on the mailing list discussion, I am declaring consensus on the text to be included in 2461bis for the M&O bits. The following text should
be used for defining these bits:
M :
1-bit "Managed address configuration" flag. When set, it
indicates that addresses are available via Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol [DHCPv6].
If the M flag is set, the O flag is redundant and can be
ignored because DHCPv6 will return all available configuration
information.
O :
1-bit "Other configuration" flag. When set, it indicates that
other configuration information is available via DHCPv6.
Examples of such information are DNS-related information or
information on other servers within the network.
Note: If neither M nor O flags are set this indicates that no
information is available via DHCP.
Regards,
Brian
