This is something we should correct. As it is likely the T-Bit will disappear from the IA-Address option since we'll likely be adding a Temporary-IA option to carry temporary addresses (RTA option would also go away), I'd suggest we standardize on 8-bit values all around. Thanks for reporting this. - Bernie Volz -----Original Message----- From: Anders Vestlund [mailto:eraaves@al.edt.ericsson.se] Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2002 7:43 AM To: dhcwg@ietf.org Subject: [dhcwg] Status length Hi, I'm currently implementing a parse function for dhcp ipv6 messages. While reading draft 23 I noticed that status have different lengths in different options: IA option: IA Status = 8 bits IAADDR option: addr status = 7 bits STATUS_CODE option: status-code = 16 bits Is there a reason for this, or why don't they have the same lengths ? (It would result in a shorter parse function : ) ) Best Regards Anders Vestlund Ericsson /// _______________________________________________ dhcwg mailing list dhcwg@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dhcwg
