Hello,
I'm trying to prepare an ISP for providing DHCP-PD to end users. In the
initial phase,
this will probably require a ppp link. It would be very helpful if we could
point to
a Linux distribution working out of the box, and I think Debian Squeeze is
going to be
close.
A very useful simplification for the end users would be sample dhcp6c up/down
scripts
in /etc/ppp/ipv6-{up,down}.d/
The default /etc/ppp/ipv6-up.d/dhcpv6 script should request a PD when the IPv6
link
comes up using a default configuration which might do nothing with the prefix
(or
split it on all other interfaces?).
The default /etc/ppp/ipv6-down.d/dhcpv6 script could release the prefix when the
link goes down. Or maybe not? It would not be able to inform the server of
this as
the link is already down, so I guess releasing is useless. It would be better
to
keep using the delegated prefix, and to renew the lease as soon as the link
comes up
again. But that would require a fix for bug #561949 first, as it's currently
impossible to renew a lease on an interface which has been deleted and
recreated.
What do you think? Could we have DHCP-PD just automagically working?
