Bob - RFC 3633 [2] suggests the use of Framed-IPv6-Prefix option to carry the customer prefix from the provisioning database through RADIUS to the DHCPv6 PD delegating router. That use of Framed-IPv6-Prefix overloads other uses of the attribute to carry the prefix to be assigned to the link between the NAS and the CPE. This new I-D defines a new RADIUS attribute to be used expressly for a prefix to be delegated to the CPE for use in the network behind the CPE.
