Hi Tim,

Thanks for supporting the document.

I think the first text which you referred is mentioned in the "Problem Statement" where in we really don't have a way to find out the link-layer address form the "DHCPv6 message header/options." 

Whereas the next text (section 5) is talking about server extracting it from DHCPv6 message L2 header. Not from the DHCPv6 message/options.

Please let me know if you still find it confusing.

Thanks,
Gaurav

Hi,

This also has my support.  It would be something we would use in our deployment.

A little nit though...  

The text says:
"Similarly DHCPv6 Relay or Server cannot glean client link-layer address from the contents of DHCPv6 message received."


and then later in Section 5 the text that's been added in the latest version says:
"This specification does not specify the mechanism for DHCPv6 Server to find out link-layer address of the directly connected clients as a DHCP option as it can obtain it directly from the received message."

This seems a bit contradictory - should the first text say "Similarly DHCPv6 Relay or DHCPv6 Server receiving a relayed message cannot glean"...?

Tim
