v6opsers,

We succeeded in making DHCPv6 PD work natively on a cellular link.
I would claim it to be a first[*].
Packet dump available upon request.

The UE device is a Huawei E392u-12 USB dongle produced in 2011.  It hosts a baseband processor Qualcomm model MDM9600 (or model MDM9200, or an Intel - not sure).  It lets all standard DHCPv6 messaging through. The DHCPv6 client 'odhcpv6' is running on linux laptop.

The mobile operator's PGW assigns a /56 and sets proper forwarding for it.  The PGW runs on a big Cisco platform.

After the successful DHCP exchange the laptop is able to ping google with a src address which is manually derived out of the /56 delegated prefix.

That said,

DHCPv6-PD on cellular links is relevant for a few RFCs and Internet Drafts.  They should be improved because at places these documents are a little bit wrong.

DHCPv6-PD is blocked on other baseband processors, including Qualcomm and Balong versions; they are hosted by many smartphones, USB cellular dongles, mobile personal WiFi hotspots and IoT devices.  A sample list is available upon request.

Last but not least,

[*] earlier DHCPv6 PD on cellular links was shown on tunnel virtual interfaces, like VPN.
