It's close, but not quite as MAP doesn't mandate stageful DHCP of any kind (SLAAC can also be used). I think this paragraph should be added. For your concern, I think the text can be modified to: "This means that the lifetime of the IPv4 configuration is bound to the lifetime of the IPv6 configuration." Well, not quite: The lifetime of the IPv4 configuration in MAP *can*, but doesn't have to be bound the IPv6 configuration. As I said before, I do not think that the above "explanatory" text is suitable for this specification. The essence is that if someone want to use DHCPv4 (for DHCPv4 options, or DHCPv4 leases) then they should use DHCPv4 over DHCPv6. -Wojciech. Best Regards, Cong
