Re: [dhcwg] I-D Action: draft-ietf-dhc-rfc3315bis-09.txt - questions about Solicit Prefix Delegation

How would the client get the GUA before it does the PD Solicit? SLAAC?
IA_NA Solicit? What if all the client needs is the PD and no other GUAs?

With my code, I do PD Solicit with link-local source address with no
problems. I have been using the kea DHCP server, but it seems like
it should work for other servers as well.

Thanks - Fred
