Title : DHCPv6 Prefix Length Hint Issues Authors : Yong Cui Tianxiang Li Cong Liu Filename : draft-cui-dhc-dhcpv6-prefix-length-hint-issue-01.txt Pages : 8 Date : 2015-10-11 Abstract: DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation [RFC3633] allows a client to include a prefix-length hint value in the IA_PD option to indicate a preference for the size of the prefix to be delegated, but is unclear about how the client and server should act in different situations involving the prefix-length hint. This document provides a summary of the existing problems with the prefix-length hint and guidance on what the client and server could do in different situations.
