Ditto on the mic line—very frustrating. I think you overestimate the obstacles to using DHCPv6 PD for this application. I don't think any protocol extension is required. What is needed is ad-hoc relay configuration, which is already anticipated. The CPE device can just allocate a /64 for any PD it receives, and with ad-hoc relaying, it should all Just Work. The way ad hoc relaying works is that when you come up, your PD client asks for a prefix on its upstream port. If it receives PDs, it relays them on its upstream port. These PDs all wind up at the CPE device, which allocates /64s to them and forwards them back, all in accordance with the existing DHCP relay mechanism. I think homenet would have to do a draft describing how to set this up, but it does not require a DHCP extension. There'd be some details to document on how the routing topology gets set up; perhaps that could be done with OSPF. _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
