Hi Jim, I find it hard to tell if you mean it is wrong (incorrect) or wrong (not the right way to go).about the current status though, section 5.4.5 of RFC 2462 mentions that a node which receives the M flag goes should undertake stateful address configuration. there is no MUST requirement in that section, though section 5.5 does say "the processing described below MUST be enabled by default" If the intention was that nodes which have DHCP/managed capability support this when the M flag is set, it's unclear. At the moment, it looks optional to implementors. Does it require update? Comments?
