Hi John,

We can discuss about this, but this is only half DHC.  It gives
optimal routing but only within that routing domain.  No need of HoA
and CoA but only if staying in that domain.

I don't know of any DHCP implementation that interacts with routing
daemons.  But enhanching a DHCPv6 implementation to send UDP messages
to routing daemons, a proof-of-concept like, must not be very
difficult.

RIP needs some modifications to act well for this.  Again, off-topic,
but links torn down information propagate badly.

Alex
