Abstract:
   The DHCPv6 Prefix Pool option provides a mechanism for DHCPv6 Prefix
   Delegation (DHCPv6-PD), allowing the DHCPv6 server to notify a DHCPv6
   relay agent implemented on a Provider Edge (PE) router about active
   prefix pools allocated by the DHCPv6 server to the PE router.  The
   information of active prefix pools can be used to enforce IPv6 route
   aggregation on the PE router by adding or removing aggregation routes
   according to the status of the prefix pools.  The advertising of the
   aggregation routes in the routing protocol enabled on the network-
   facing interface of PE routers will dramatically decreases the number
   of the routing table entries in the ISP network.
