RFC4389 describes an ND Proxy.
Is that really an L2 proxy?
It seems like it also must be contain either an L2-bridge, or must have the
L3-routing table entries if it would really be capable of passing DHCPv6-PD
prefixes through it.

Can you explain how such a device would normally work for a client device
A,B,C,D doing DHCPv6-PD through it?

And is the failure one where the router "R" fails to drop traffic it should,
one where the router "R" drops traffic that it shouldn't?
