Different problems.

Getting the IETF's DHCPv6 servers and routers configured to serve
and support PD requests is a very different problem to getting CPE
devices to properly support PD.

Getting DHCPv6 servers to respond to PD requests is easy.  Integrating
that with the routers is harder.  This is having the IETF simulate
being a ISP with wired home customers (assuming a wired connection)
compared to being a hotspot provider which it currently is.  If we
want to do it over wireless as well then the IETF needs to simulate
being a WISP.

Now doing a demo network w/o integrating the DHCPv6 servers and the
routers is also possible but requires a different planning.

Providing CTMS and similar is yet again a different problem.  We
have the vendors in the IETF that can supply all the gear with
suitable planning.  They have brought this sort of gear for
Bit-and-Bites in the past.

So what is the scope of the request and what needs to be simulated?
