Huh? DHCP is carried in UDP and IP. There is a little funkiness in the DHCPv4 transport, which we wouldn't have need if IPv4 link-local addresses had been defined when RFC 2131 was published. DHCPv6 uses link-local addresses and garden-variety IPv6. - Ralph On 4/20/07 1:48 PM, "Hallam-Baker, Phillip" <pbaker@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > >> From: David W.
