Hi, Ted, Thanks for your email. Yes, my original use case falls into the first category. However, since we are trying to define a generic addr registration mechanism, we could include more applicable use cases. I guess what we should do now is to add a "Applicability" section into the draft. Are you interested and have time to contribute some text? For me, router-based addr registration may need another dedicated draft. Although current IA can work out, a new DHCP option that support bulk addr registration may be more efficient than one addr per time. What's your opinion? Best regards, Sheng
