ARP uses broadcast as well. If it can't broadcast, it will fail, and you won't be able to talk to anyone using IPv4. IPv6 NDP and RD both use multicast. IPv6 will fail without that support, and it has nothing to do with DHCP. I don't think DHCP is a special factor here. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
