[dhcwg] RFC 3633 Question

["Archimedes S. Gaviola" <agaviola at infoweapons.com>]

Hi! Based on RFC 3633 - IPv6 Prefix Options for DHCPv6, the specified nodes involved in the operation are routers such as the requesting router - the router that acts as a DHCP client that is requesting for prefix(es) and a delegating router that acts as the DHCP server. My question are, thus the option (IA_PD) mentioned here is only intended when DHCP is running on a router ( a packet forwarding node) and not on a host ( non-forwarding packet node)?  Is there a DHCPv6 option for specifying gateway or router just like in IPv4 when a DHCPv6 is running on a non-forwarding packet node, in which it will provide options for routers?

 

Thank you very much.
