Hi, 6man & v6ops We submitted a new draft to discuss the SLAAC/DHCPv6 interaction gaps.
As we know there are several flags in RA messages regarding with the host configuration behavior, which are A (Autonomous) flag, M (Managed) flag, and O (Otherconfig) flag. For some reason, the host behavior of interpreting the flags is ambiguous in the standard (mainly RFC4862). I presented a draft discussing M flag behavior in 6man @ietf84, and there were some feedbacks arguing the same issue. This draft analyzed all the three flags, and provided test result of current implementations, it showed the behavior of different mainstream desktop OSes have varied. The ambiguous and variation might cause operational problems, such as renumbering (used to discuss in 6renum WG and been documented in the WG drafts), cold start problem, and management gaps .etc. Your review and comments would be appreciated very much.
