Ahh, you have written a book on authentication in DSL architectures... ;-)
If you point me to the IPv6 deployment architecture from the DSLForum I
can send you a draft on how to do the authentication in it. Putting EAP
into DHCP v6 is no big trick, the real trick is what does the rest of
the IPv6 architecture look like.
There are a ton of questions like:
a) Do we have multiple services with separate addresses or are they on
the same address as IPv4. Both approaches have pro's and cons.
b) How far into the L2 architecture are link local addresses allowed.
c) SAVA
and on and on.
It is simply premature to guess at what authentication is appropriate
and while PANA seems to think they have a hammer for everything. I do
not think DHCP Authentication may be the write answer to every question.
So leave off the IPv6, we just cannot answer the question with the
architectures under discussion at the DSLForum.
