[dhcwg] DHCPv6 router option
I very strongly disagree with draft-droms-dhc-dhcpv6-default-
router-00.txt in its current form.
The ability to put a random address in DHCPv6 that is supposed to be a
router, but which in actuality may or may not be a working router is a
huge step backwards from the current situation where routers
themselves announce their existance and therefore there is a
reasonable expectation that they are, in fact, working routers.
What I suggest is that you change the draft such that router
advertisements are still required, but the DHCPv6 option indicates
which of the routers that advertise their presence a host should use.
I'm also missing any discussion about dead neighbor detection, which
would normally make a host select a different default router.
