Re: [radext] [dhcwg] [homenet] PPP, DHCPv6 and Prefix Delegation

It's probably just a remark/side note, but pd_exclude could also be used with DHCPv6 iso RA on the WAN-link.  I've not bumped in to many customers using RA on WAN links to number them, not with separate prefix nor with excluded prefix, so the typical use case will be to get/use an excluded prefix, and to assign an IP from it to the WAN link through ia_na.

Subject: Re: [dhcwg] [homenet] PPP, DHCPv6 and Prefix Delegation

Hello (thanks for the answer),
The uplink connection between the delegating and the requesting router will be in many cases enumerated with a prefix dictated by the Framed-IPv6-Prefix value. If this uplink prefix is going to be a part of the greater prefix that will be delegated, we would in effect have to include the value of the Framed-IPv6-Prefix in the OPTION_PD_EXCLUDE.
Example, if a delegating router makes a RADIUS request and gets the following attributes in the reply:

Framed-IPv6-Prefix='2001:dead:beef::/64'
Delegated-IPv6-Prefix='2001:dead:beef::/56'
Then the delegating router should
1)send an RA in the client uplink interface with 2001:dead:beef::/64. The uplink is enumerated with that /64.
2)Afterwards, when requested for PD, it should reply with the 2001:dead:beef::/56 to the requesting router, but excluding the 2001:dead:beef::/64 from that /56 by putting it in the OPTION_PD_EXCLUDE.
So in effect, the Framed-IPv6-Prefix has been copied in the OPTION_PD_EXCLUDE option.
If I have misunderstood something in the RFC or the discussion, I'd be grateful if you would correct me.
Thanks very much,
Athanasios

Why would it ever be copied into that option? That makes no sense to me.

Correction, the above is incorrect, as has been rightly pointed.
Are there any cases where the Framed-IPv6-Prefix value will not be copied as-is in the OPTION_PD_EXCLUDE value?
