Re: [dhcwg] Anyone interested in continuing draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-prefix-pool-opt?

I may easily be wrong here but snooping sounds to me like a stop gap
solution i.e. what you do when no better method is available?

Seen from outside (my chair) it looks like there might be a need for a
protocol to talk directly with the switch/router, possibly first passing
a control/admin system that controls what may be set up in various
places in the network.
