Alexandru,

> For example, Prefix Delegation is only specified for DHCPv6 (not for
> RA), whereas the MTU parameter, and default router parameters (IP
> address, MAC address) are only for the RA (not for DHCP).

that's because prefix delegation is a stateful operation that requires per requesting router / client binding state.
the general principle is "DHCPv6 can give different information to different clients, RA give the same information to everyone."

cheers,
Ole
