Hi all, the discussion on the mailing list titled "RA "requires" DHCPv6 ?" is quite confusingto me since RFC 4862 states, the flags M and O are removed, but not deprecated. They don't even longer exist, but still exist? But what should a client do now? Is a client asked to request further information from a DHCPv6 server if it receives a router advertisement with these bits set? And if, which address should the client use? The link local FF02:0:0:0:0:0:1:2 (All-dhcp-agents) or the site-local FF05:0:0:0:0:0:1:3 (All-dhcp-servers)? Kind regards, Dominik
