Thomas,
If the original 2461 text is really deemed insufficient, how about something like:
o M :
1-bit "Managed address configuration" flag. When set, it indicates that addresses are available via Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol [DHCPv6], including addresses that were not configured via stateless address autoconfiguration. Clients SHOULD use DHC to obtain addresses (and associated configuration information) as described in [ADDRCONF]. Note that when the M bit is set, the setting of the O bit is irrelevant, since the DHC server will return "other" configuration information together with addresses.
o O :
1-bit "Other configuration" flag. When set, it indicates that [DHCPv6lite] is available for autoconfiguration of other (non-address) information. Examples of such information are DNS-related information or information on other servers within the network. When set,
- If the M bit is also set, clients SHOULD use DHC to obtain addresses (and associated configuration information) as described above.
- If the M bit is not set, clients SHOULD use DHC as described in RFC 3736.
Is more than something like the above _really_ needed? If so, why?
I agree and also don't see why more than this is needed.
Thanks, Bob
