Hi! Based on RFC 3633 - IPv6 Prefix Options for DHCPv6, the specified nodes
involved in the operation are routers such as the requesting router - the
router that acts as a DHCP client that is requesting for prefix(es) and a
delegating router that acts as the DHCP server. My question are, thus the
option (IA_PD) mentioned here is only intended when DHCP is running on a
router ( a packet forwarding node) and not on a host ( non-forwarding packet
node)?  Is there a DHCPv6 option for specifying gateway or router just like
in IPv4 when a DHCPv6 is running on a non-forwarding packet node, in which
it will provide options for routers?
 
Thank you very much.
