Hi,

I am looking for a DHCPv6 option that a server can use to report an IPv6
prefix to a client. This *would not* be used as a replacement for Router
Advertisement Prefix Information Options (PIOs), and the client *would
not* use the prefix for SLAAC.

A DHCPv6 option that specifically returned an IPv6 prefix (along with
prefix length) would be preferred. A DHCPv6 option that returned opaque
data could also be used as a kludge but I would rather not have to do
that. Is there a DHCPv6 option that would meet these requirements?

Thanks - Fred
