There's a long list of worthwhile things for ahcpd... It would be nice if openwrt's netifd play'd nice with ahcpd - an example is with current openwrt syntax you can get a /60 prefix and assign it automatically to /64 interfaces but not to ahcp managed /128s dnsmasq + ahcpd? prefix distribution? >From what I understand of the current client/server/forwarder split there's no way to get ahcp working across multiple physical networks...
