Well, most systems implemented DHCPv6 support a long time ago. Despite other efforts to have Google support DHCPv6 for Android, nothing has happened. There is nothing wrong with using NANOG to call out a major vendor for this, even if they are a significant sponsor. Just because you don't agree with the direction of the discussion doesn't mean it has no value. On Thu, Jun 11, 2015 at 9:03 PM, Ca By <cb.list6 () gmail com> wrote:

Being the one and only holdout on implementing awidelydeployed Internet standard looks more like lunatic fringe than visionary leader 8-/.
