Ralph, While the functions may be independent, wouldn't it be better if we had a unified set of messages for accessing the functions? (I'm thinking some sort of hybrid fusion of the RFC2461 ND and RFC3315 DHCPv6 messages.) Perhaps it is too late in the game to even consider this... Fred [EMAIL PRO

Christian - where have you seen phrases like "do DHCP, and only if it fails do auto-config." They are clearly wrong. SLAAC and DHCPv6 are clearly independent - a host can use neither, one or the other or both - and are controlled independently. If that independence is not clear in the specs, tha

I think the O flag (if we keep it!) should simply specify DHCPv6, with no implication about the way in which DHCPv6 is used. "Stateless DHCPv6" is simply a way to use some of the messages from the full specification in RFC 3315. RFC 3376 is a guideline to the implementation of DHCPv6 that uses jus
