Re: [dhcwg] Process: draft-dec-dhcpv6-route-option anddraft-droms-dhc-dhcpv6-default-router

Ted and Bernie,

It's fair to say there is a deal of contention around DHCPv6 being used
as an alternative to RA (draft-droms-dhc-dhcpv6-default-router) for
default router selection however I'm not sure I would put
draft-dec-dhcpv6-route-option in the same boat (though I can see how one
could use it for such).

Per Ted's email, DHC WG already defined static route options for DHCPv4
and there is no equivalent mechanism in RA being discussed to my
knowledge. 
In the same way that the WG is considering DHCPv6 for policy table
control I see draft-dec proposing route-table control. There is a real
need to support this in broadband models (like TR-144 adapted to IPv6)
and while an alternative is to use VSO, I for one would like to see the
WG look at static route options for DHCPv6.
