Certainly in the SOHO market, the presence of a built in, auto-configured, and enabled DHCP server in the route means that the user just "plugs it in and it works". By the time you get to a level of network complexity where that isn't the case, then there is normally a network admin either on the staff or hired n as needed. >>>> >>>> If that isn't working reliably for users in the IPv6 world then that suggests the various components needed haven't reached the same level of completeness & correctness "mostly" available in the IPv4 world.

At the time that SLAAC was designed, DHCP(v4) wasn't mature and the state of the art in autoconfiguration was Appletalk, Novell IPX, and DECnet Phase IV. It really doesn't matter now.

At the very least, one would have a DHCPv6 route option. So far, IIRC the arguments against this have been that a DHCPv6 server couldn't be ain a good position to tell where packets should be routed. However, a number of proposals recently discussed in this working group have failed that criteria (if it ever existed). Folks that need/want to "enforce" policy, should be able to do so. Besides, they should be able to rely on any automatic configuration mechanism rather than having to duplicate the effort in both protocols. e,g,-, My ISPs CPE does network configuration (addresses `other info) with both SLAAC and DHCPv6 -- because they have to make sure it works with whatever stuff their users plug. Part of the outcome is that while my box does rfc7217+rfc4941, I also configure dhcpv6 addresses, and the dhcpv6 server generates IIDs in a predictable manner. > and there would some interesting discussions around which options need to be MTI.

However, I imagine that the constrained node people would have something to say if we changed this to a MUST: > > "...all hosts SHOULD implement address configuration via DHCPv6." [RFC8504, section 6.5] My understanding is that the constrained node folks already have to deviate a bit from plain IPv6. So I guess that could be worked out. It would seem to me the problem here is more of Android than anything else. -- Fernando Gont SI6 Networks e-mail: fgont@si6networks.com PGP Fingerprint: 6666 31C6 D484 63B2 8FB1 E3C4 AE25 0D55 1D4E 7492
