I'd suggest to the authors to rethink the entire scheme *without* DHCP, and
without any
requirement that there's a link-level relationship to do what they're trying to
do: it should
work from the other end of the internet directly addressed with a nice shiny
ipv6 address.
Yeah, I _think_ Daniel is just addressing the provisioning of the customer edge
home gateway, not hosts on the homenet. So in that context it makes a little
more sense, but I still think it's problematic in any case where the provider
isn't shipping customers devices with custom firmware.
Oh, ok. This goes back to the duality problem with DHCP then (discovery,
configuration).
Has anybody ever posited a DHCP configuration-only protocol where you could have
normal transport (ie, not to a broadcast address, you could have, say, (d)TLS,
it doesn't
have to be link local, etc, etc)?
Or maybe what they really want is tr-069?
