Hi Ole I believe its also true in that the host tx the RS and Edge node then responds with the RA as oppose to the Edge node txing the RA. This is really a BBF issue on how the BNG operates and should be taken up in BBF.

I think the main difference is that for all other SLAAC hosts, they will receive a multicast RA which will trigger SLAAC. is that also going to happen in this case? cheers, Ole -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [email protected] Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [email protected] Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
