Just let implementations pick one and stick with it until it changes. Difference *will* occur as a matter of operational practice whenever the list is changed so this isn't a error condition unless it continues for a long time. If you update the DHCP server the RA will be out of date. If you update the RA first the DHCP server will be out of date. > Regards, K. > =20 > --=20 > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > Karl Auer ([email protected]) +61-2-64957160 (h) > http://www.biplane.com.au/kauer/ +61-428-957160 (mob) > > GPG fingerprint: DA41 51B1 1481 16E1 F7E2 B2E9 3007 14ED 5736 F687 > Old fingerprint: B386 7819 B227 2961 8301 C5A9 2EBC 754B CD97 0156 > -- Mark Andrews, ISC 1 Seymour St., Dundas Valley, NSW 2117, Australia PHONE: +61 2 9871 4742 INTERNET: [email protected] -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [email protected] Administrative Requests: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
