Re: [netlmm] Issue: MAG sends prefix hint to LMA (Was: Issue: Link-local address collision on the access link)

Behcet,

Yes, the hint for the requesting prefix can be carried
in the HNP Option. However, LMA should have the right
to accept or reject the request for that prefix. This is
one opinion.

Today, a DHCP client can specify an address in the DHCP
request. The same logic can go here.

However, there are other opinions on this.
