Hello

I found this draft proposal particularly interesting, for its given
use-case, I do see it potentially being a very good solution. I have a
query to the authors of this proposal.

I noticed there's a line under 4.2.1, that says:
> or within a prefix delegated to the client.

Does this imply that, if for example, I have a DHCPv6 server running on a
VLAN, and on this particular VLAN, I delegate via ia_pd to my client, a
/56, the client needs to inform back to my DHCPv6 server
through ADDR-REG-INFORM, whenever the client uses some addresses out of the
delegated /56? If the implication is yes, then would this not make it a
redundant functionality? As the DHCPv6 server will, anyway, already have
knowledge of which client received which ia_pd prefix, therefore if we do
need to identify a particular /128 IPv6 address client origin, we can do so
by looking at the ia_pd pools.

Thanks.
