Re: [mif] Announcing draft-mouton-mif-dhcpv6-drlo-00 about default route with DHCPv6

Hello Alex,

reading through the draft, other than it proposing a new option with a
different format, could you elaborate on why/what is the issue in
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-mif-dhcpv6-route-option-02 for
conveying the default router info (which the draft already covers)?

Thanks,
Wojciech.
