RE: [dhcwg] Brokenness of specs w.r.t. client behavior with M&O bits

>A DHCPv6 server will answer all Solicits, even if it has no addresses to provide, with an Advertise.  The difference is in the status code in each IA.

I don't believe that is an accurate statement.  According to RFC 3736 section 5.1, clients and servers implement the following messages for stateless DHCP service:  Info-Request, Reply, Relay-Forward, and Relay-Reply.

So, there is no Solicit and no Advertise with Stateless DHCPv6.
