Re: [Geopriv] Confirmation of GEOPRIV IETF 68 Working Group Hums

Huh?  DHCP is carried in UDP and IP.  There is a little funkiness in the
DHCPv4 transport, which we wouldn't have need if IPv4 link-local addresses
had been defined when RFC 2131 was published.  DHCPv6 uses link-local
addresses and garden-variety IPv6.
