Hi. In preparing for the DHC WG meeting I have the following comments on
draft-jang-dhc-haopt-00.txt:

In DHCPv6 we use 16-bit option (and suboption) codes and lengths. It would
be best if this draft switched to using 16-bit fields for the sub-option and
length fields. Please see RFC 3315 and section 22.17. Note also that for
some forms of identification/authentication (opaque type), it is conceivable
that it might exceed a length of 255 bytes!

Also, with a 16-bit option number space, we've got plenty of option number
space and it might be best to drop the Home Agent Discovery Option and
simply make the two sub-options regular options? Or, is there a reason you'd
prefer having sub-options?

For the Home Network Information Sub-option, I assume that if multiple
addresses (or prefixes) are specified, the A, reserved, prefix-length and
address/prefix fields are all repeated (18 bytes/address). It might be good
to specify this?

- Bernie
