Hi Luigi / 6lo,

here the pointer to the standard (outside IETF, but using many IETF functionalities) -- Thread -- that defines unicast DHCPv6.

The specification is downloadable but formally not public, as it requires accepting a license. There are some (license-free) public white papers on the website but these don't cover the topic.

Link to spec: https://threadgroup.org/Resources#specifications

Mesh-wide network configuration data optionally sets a "DHCP server anycast address" -> clients can use this, and it gets routed to the nearest 6LBR that has configured a DHCPv6 server or agent.  The addresses are not link-local, but 'mesh-local' (i.e. a ULA confined to mesh scope).

best regards

Esko
