Look, can we stop arguing about whether someone needs DHCP or not, whether they need SLAAC or not. Let's just get both solutions to a mature and useful state where a network administrator can pick the one that works best for their environment and move on. Devices, routers, OSs, etc. should support both. The IETF should stop letting the two working groups focus on damaging the other protocol and we should stop treating this as a competition or a battle and start treating it as options to accomplish a task.

Yes I don't understand why we need DHCPv6, true RD did not have DNS information to pass, but that is fixed, no? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew Palmer" <mpalmer () hezmatt org> To: nanog () nanog org Sent: Sunday, 27 February, 2011 4:06:29 PM Subject: Re: Mac OS X 10.7, still no DHCPv6 On Sun, Feb 27, 2011 at 08:56:33AM -0500, Ray Soucy wrote:Mac OS X 10.7 does support RDNSS (RFC 5001) so it is able to get DNS server information in an IPv6-only environment. Of course nobody else has implemented that yet, making Apple a "special case" host once again (I don't even think Cisco supports the option in their T series yet).radvd and rdnssd work together on Linux nicely to provide RDNSS support. Works a treat. - Matt
