Current impelemnation of DHCPv6 are very poor

from the following implementations:
-	KAME FREEBSD	
-	KAME LINPORT
-	DHCPV6 BY DHAWAL KUMAR (1999)
-	DHCPV6 NETBSD ON ALPHA 64 BIT	
-	MODIFIED DHCP ISC DISTRIBUTION VERSION 3
-	DHCPV6 ON HP-UX 11I – COMMERCIAL VERSION

The best is HP-UX, rest of them do not implement prefix delegation.

Perhaps you meant stateful address allocation (not prefix
delegation).  KAME does implement prefix delegation (PD).  Actually,
PD is our primary motivation to implement DHCPv6.

Yes, you are right, but...
We tested all these DHCPv6 implementation and KAME does implemet prefix delegation, but prefix is not assigned to interface on client side. Also client does not use DHCPv6 information (like DNS server address) in system configuration. - this is the result of our tests. :-(

Besides KAME implements draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-26 and the final specification of DHCPv6 is based on draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-28.txt

Do you have any information when and what will be implemented in KAME DHCPv6? We will test new relase with pleasure.
All I said concerns kame-20021118-freebsd47-snap.tgz

Kind regards,

Bart
