Dear WG,
Apologies if this mail is off topic here. I have a question about BCOP-690 wrt
SLAAC
BCOP-690 says:
Using a /64 prefix from a dedicated pool of IPv6 prefixes is the most common
scenario and currently the best practice. A separate block of IPv6 space is
allocated for the WAN links to the end customer CPEs, so that when CPE connects
to the network and performs router discovery, a /64 prefix is used to number
both ends of the connection.
My understanding of this recommendation is that in an ISP scenario, each RG
will be assigned a seperate /64 prefix for CPE WAN. The ISP BRAS or BNG is also
expected to send periodic multicast RA.
My question is how a multicast RA can be sent to a VLAN, in which each RG is
expected to have a different /64 prefix?
R-43 of TR-177 says:
The BNG MUST be configurable to send multicast RA messages that do not contain
a Prefix Information Option (PIO), in order to advertise the default router
address.
R-44 says:
The BNG SHOULD support sending periodic and solicited multicast RA messages
having the unicast MAC address of the RG or of the hosts behind a bridged RG
(see
RFC 6085 [26]).
Reading these two together, is it correct to say that BNG should be sending out
periodic multicast RA without PIO, but RA with PIO should be sent only as a
reply to an RS message from RG, with multicast IPv6 destination address but
with unicast link-layer address of RG.
Thanks and Regards,
X.
