I am running into venders that do not support injection of a delegated route when operating as a DHCPv6 relay (or server for that matter). Brocade supports this, but I am not finding this as part of any of the RFC's. This is to deliver home ISP service, so it is very important or return packets won't go to the client unless the route is manually added as a routing protocol is not an option. There should be a MUST activity for this somewhere. Anyone know what gives?
Well, it’s weird for a DHCPv6 relay process to inspect relayed Reply messages and use them to update the routing table. Weird, but I’ve done it. What origin type do you use for that route? Static, really? This behavior was requested by operators who needed it; I don’t remember whether we even went to the IETF with it. I think descriptions exist in CableLabs IPv6 docs; maybe in BBF docs, too. Any vendor who doesn’t do it is in the process of shutting down their ISP access router business. Lee
