Hi,
Agreed - apparently the solution is to implement SLAAC + DNS advertisements *AND* DHCPv6. Because you need SLAAC + DNS advertisements for Android, and you need DHCPv6 for Windows.
Windows has been dealing with SLAAC for ages...and OSX... DHCPv6 is relatively new in that arena... however in IPv6 your routers are sending RAs and can easily do prefix annoucements etc anyway so SLAAC makes quite a bit of sense...allowing the network to be more dynamic...no more having a gateway address stuck in a DHCP config and all those statically addressed clients needing to be changed etc. i think we're looking at the wrong place...the issue isnt handing out addresses.....its the large gaps in IPv6 functionality at the edge versus whats in IPv4 space.... DHCP snooping, DAI, ARP flood protection etc are getting pretty standard and solid... FHS (first hop security) for IPv6 at the edge is often left wanting (RA guard, ND/DAD protection etc)... but hey, we could get quite active about the lack of multicast adoption across the internet too! ;-) alan
