Hello,

In implementing RFC 3315, I see no option or field in the IA_NA option for a prefix length associated with an assigned IPv6 address.  How does the client determine the prefix length of the IPv6 address the server is assigning?

Furthermore, in the absence of a configured IPv6 router on the link, can the client use the DHCPv6 server to find a default gateway out of the local network?  If so, what RFC specifies this option?

Any help or referrals to additional RFCs would be much appreciated.

Best Regards,
Tammy Leino
