Re: [dhcwg] DHCPv6 router option



What extensions would the default router option need to carry static routes as well?

Would there be some advantage to including timers of some sort on the static routes?

Unless there is a DHCP equivalent for conveying such
"other" information (is there?), I guess that in some
use cases that would argue for option 3 (use both)?

There's a small blurb in Ralph's draft that says something like this,
"It does not matter if DHCPv6 is just as bad as DHCPv4, it can not be
worse."  And operation without RA is also a stated requirement.

So I think the answer is that we will be seeing a static routes option
in the very near future, and maybe it is not a bad idea to add it to
the current draft?

If we did have a static routes option, would we want that to cover any
default route(s) as well?
