Hello, draft-ietf-mif-dhcpv6-route-option-05 states in section 7.1:
Metric field (available in previous version of this draft) has been
replaced with 2-bit preference field that is in line with RIO
information.
Issue1:
the section 4 states:
In terms of the high level operation of the solution defined in this
draft, a DHCPv6 client interested in obtaining routing information
request the route options using the DHCPv6 Option Request Option
(ORO) sent to a server. A Server, when configured to do so, provides
the requested route information as part of a nested options structure
covering; the next-hop address; the destination prefix; >>the route
metric<<; any additional options applicable to the destination or next-
hop.
Given the statement in section 7.1, is "the route metric" above correct or is
it an obsolete text?
Issue2:
section 5.2 states:

Figure 3: Route Prefix Option Format
....
Metric: Route Metric. 8-bit signed integer. The Route Metric
indicates whether to prefer the next hop associated with
this prefix over others, when multiple identical prefixes
(for different next hops) have been received.
....
There is no "Metric" field shown in the Figure 3.
Thanks for clarification.
Kind regards
