I understand about that. > Anyway, I'll be travelling for the next couple of days. I'll review the > text in question and post some text no later than early next week. The current text (so you don't need to check) is: 4.5.5 Stateful Address Autoconfiguration Stateful Address Autoconfiguration MAY be supported. For those IPv6 Nodes that implement a stateful configuration mechanism such as [DHCPv6], those nodes MUST initiate stateful address autoconfiguration upon the receipt of a Router Advertisement with the Managed address flag set. In addition, as defined in [RFC2462], in the absence of a router, hosts that implement a stateful configuration mechanism such as [DHCPv6] MUST attempt to use stateful address autoconfiguration. For IPv6 Nodes that do not implement the optional stateful configuration mechanisms such as [DHCPv6], the Managed Address flag of a Router Advertisement can be ignored. Furthermore, in the absence of a router, this type of node is not required to initiate stateful address autoconfiguration as specified in [RFC2462]. br, John -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPng Working Group Mailing List IPng Home Page: http://playground.sun.com/ipng FTP archive: ftp://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng Direct all administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------
