RE: [dhcwg] Deafult Router information for DHCPv6

Christian,

I have been down this patha and I cannot see a good case for this to be
in DHCPv6.  I concur with Eric and Bernie.  The entire conversion of
routes on a link should come from ND RA.  Once the edge link routers
have the prefixes it is automatic for the hosts.  I can see any good
reason to add state to the IPv6 network architecture for route
propogation?  

thanks
