Hi Mikael,

Op 10 dec. 2013, om 08:10 heeft Mikael Abrahamsson <swmike@swm.pp.se> het volgende geschreven:

> From RFC4861:

> I interpret this as M=1 means addresses are available via DHCPv6, that means IA_NA and/or IA_PD, one or both might be available. I don't really understand why you do not. What do you think the M flag means? Reading the above text seems to indicate that you think it has something to do with managing the CPE?

As far as I know the M flag is linked only to IA_NA. As far as I can see IA_PD is not linked to the M flag at all.

Cheers,
Sander
