Hi Éric,

I can't give you the overall conclusion, however, "Knowledge of the
basic features" for me would include awareness of

 - new methods for autoconfiguration (slaac vs. dhcpv6), including
privacy extensions/temporary addresses
 - different types of addresses and how (not) to distinguish them
 - rough idea of scope, i.e. link local addresses and how to ping/telnet
them
 - ways to write and shorten an IPv6-Adresses (including IPv6 in URLs
and e.g. scp commands)
 - the topics you mentioned :-)

The handling of routes and addresses on LPIC-1-Level is more or less the
same as for IPv4, so I wouldn't expect any IPv6-specific configuration
question someone with solid knowledge of IPv4 can't answer.

Topic 109.1 is called "Fundamentals of internet protocols" and IPv6 is
only one part of it. I think for most of the points the general idea is
most important. I also wouldn't expect details of neighbor discovery,
radvd, dhcpv6 etc. to appear in LPIC-1 since their IPv4-equivalents
(ARP, DHCP configuration) are in LPIC-2. Same for deeper protocol stuff
like header-fields, option headers, options in router advertisements etc.

Regards,

Fabian

BTW: The objectives also mention "Knowledge of the major differences
between IPv4 and IPv6". These differences might give some more hints on
which (new) features one could take a closer look to.
