RE: [dhcwg] Enabling ipv6 forwarding with dhcpv6

Hi Christian,

IPv6 is very clear about Host vs Router.  An interface cannot be both.
So a router interface would not be using a DHCPv6 client is my guess. I
think giving hints to the Host interface of a client that has a router
interface state too is not a good idea.  A UNIX router interface will
get all it needs from being a router.  We had to do this to support
MIPv6 HA on UNIX where I work and the trick is to get all the OSPF,
IS-IS, RIPng, BGP et al updates via routing daemon for that interface.

Does this answer help?

Good question.
