Tomek, list,
Just for my clarification - do you mean that a MAC address could be used
as an option NEXT_HOP options of Next Hop Option format?
And this option could be something new that one could design, or is it
something recommended to follow
draft-halwasia-dhc-dhcpv6-hardware-addr-opt-01?
Yours,
Alex

#8: absent MAC address of default route?
Currently draft-ietf-mif-dhcpv6-route-option-04 specifies the DHCPv6
Server to communicate some route to the DHCPv6 Client.
In the particular case of default route, the existing mechanism to
achieve this is ND. This has the optional feature to communicate the
MAC address of the default router at the same time. This saves on the
number of messages exchanged (instead of 4 messages, only 2 are used).
In the same manner, it would be useful to have DHCPv6 way of
communicating the default route to add the MAC address of the IP address
of the default router. This would save on the number of messages
exchanged.
