That doesn't really deal with a change of address at the client. As an example, I'm thinking of a CE that changes its address regularly for privacy reasons. Of course, one answer you may give me is that autonomous address changes by the CE are out of scope or not allowed.

Dear Tom,

Thanks for the comment.

There is some text in the Sec 9 in draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv4-over-dhcpv6-09, which 
may be related to this:

    If the IPv6 configuration that contained the 4o6
    Server Address option subsequently expires, or if the renewed IPv6
    configuration does not contain the 4o6 Server Address option, the
    client MUST stop using DHCPv4 over DHCPv6 to request or renew IPv4
    configuration.  However, the client continues to request 4o6 Server
    Address option in the messages sent to the DHCPv6 server as long as
    it desires to use DHCPv4 over DHCPv6.

So if a CE changes the binding IPv6 address in the context of normal DHCPv6 
operation, it has a chance to update the information to the DHCP server.

Best Regards,
Qi

Suppose a CE changes the IPv6 address it uses for tunnel endpoint subsequent to 
the initial establishment of the tunnel. What would the message flow be between 
the CE and the DHCP server(s) to update the latter?

Dear all,

We have submitted a new draft about using DHCPv4 over DHCPv6 with some 
IPv4-over-IPv6 softwire mechanisms. This draft follows the essence of the 
’Softwire DHCP Options’ document with a new container grouping related 
sub-options.

Comments are more than welcome.

Best Regards,
Qi
