Ted,

> One other question about this draft: it proposes extending the Confirm message to stateful options other than IA_NA.   Presumably, the option we're most interested in is IA_PD, but how would a DHCP server without access to the client binding state know that a PD was valid?   Are we talking about a scenario like Leaf Yeh's prefix pool option, whether the server simply validates that the proposed prefixes are within the pool that is assigned to the specific PE router?

the server may have enough information, be it configured or having the binding. if so there is no harm in using confirm, and it has a lower overhead than Renew. I wasn't thinking of this in the context of the prefix pool option.

cheers,
Ole
