Yes. We will also be doing that change in 3315bis but keep some references to older terms.

Hi Bernie,

Thank you for the comments? we will update a new version of the draft very soon.
During the ietf 96 meeting, comments were raised about changing the term "requesting router / delegating router" to "client / server". Should we change it in the updated version?

Cheers,
Tianxiang

Hi:

Here's some comments related to the draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-prefix-length-hint-issue-02 version.

Section 1:

-          "as it just help a client" -> change help to helps?

-          Same area, perhaps mention that 3315bis is dropping use of the lifetime hints?

-          Later - "handle the prefixes which lengths are different" - "handle prefixes with lengths different from the prefix-length hint"?

I wonder whether a "general solution" section should be added which says something like:

"Therefore, the recommendation to address the issues discussed in this document, is for a client that wants (at least) to have a delegated prefix of a specific prefix length to always include an IAPREFIX option with just the prefix length hint in addition to any IAPREFIX options it has included for each IA_PD in any Solicit, Request, Renew, and Rebind messages it sends. While a server is free to ignore the hint, servers that do not choose to ignore the hint should attempt to assign a prefix of at least the hint length (or shorter) if one is available. Whether a server favors the hint or avoiding a renumbering event is a matter of policy for the server."

Note that this could actually be taken as one way to interpret the original RFC 3633 text, which said:



   The requesting router may include prefixes in the IA_PDs as a hint to
   the delegating router about specific prefixes for which the
   requesting router has a preference.

This text was as part of the Solicit discussion, but perhaps it was intended to apply to subsequent transactions as well (Request, Renew, Rebind).
