That can also be seen as a feature. I certainly do. (Note that e.g. with proposed address allocation proposals, you're supposed to document the use of /48's in the registries.. how do you do that with a prefix pool?). > The DHCPv6 option could be used in this aim, and would be therefore > complementary to PD...

IMO, protocol negotiation seems to be almost always extra cruft. I don't see it used at all where APD applies the best. -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties surmounted, Netcore Oy not those you stumble over and fall" Systems. Networks.
