You can also of course just use tools that harvest data from network/switch/router devices, and build the info from that. There's a number of open source options in that space, from bespoke tools for address tracking through to full-on monitoring platforms. Then you don't need changes in hosts or routers.

Regardless, I hope draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-client-link-layer-addr-opt progresses.
