(Hi Martin, I'm just the messenger, your questions are all pretty good. For others, I think it was not obvious that they are about draft-winters-v6ops-cpe-lan-pd-00. But, more than my brain can handle right now)

I think that actually we've created an ambiguity about whether they are DHCPv6 relays or if they are full DHCPv6 servers. There are arguments both ways, and in some cases the choice is transparent to the end system, but in other ways it is not. The lack of a standardized way to communicate DHCPv6-server PD to DHCPv6-relay, and the expectation that the relay would just *snoop* on the DHCPv6-PD contents has bugged me for a long time. If we are going to recommend that they act as relays, then I'd like to fix that. Either way, Tim's v6ops draft-winters-v6ops-cpe-lan-pd-00 should clarify. LPD-1 suggests the IPv6 CE Router is a server, not a relay. -- Michael Richardson <[email protected]> . o O ( IPv6 IøT consulting ) Sandelman Software Works Inc, Ottawa and Worldwide
