Re: Android (lack of) support for DHCPv6

Hi,

Ok, let's see how that goes, even among the few people on this thread.

Question for everyone on this thread that has said that DHCPv6 NA is a
requirement: suppose that Android supported stateful DHCPv6 addressing,
requested a number of addresses, and did not use any of them if the number
of addresses received was less than N.

What does N need to be?

well, from memory and a quick discussion with a colleague, our cisco wireless
kit is only happy with devices having 8 IPv6 addresses at most - otherwise
the older addresses get removed from the neighbour cache.

is that a good starting point?  :-)
