[Babel-users] ahcp ipv6 prefix delegation?

[Dave Taht]

after wrestling with the hairball that is dhcp-pd, I went looking to
see how ahcpd did it, only to discover that it only sort of did, in
that there is some support for client side delegation but no server
side support in the code at present.

I surmise that the intent was in "3.3.1.11.  IPv6 Prefix Delegation",
for the requestor to present the prefix/mask it had before, and for
the server to attempt to re-deliver that prefix, and if not, to
deliver up to that number of subnets.

if more than one subnettable prefix was requested previously then
there would be additional Prefix delegation requests and/or responses.

if prefixes were needed by the client router but unassigned as yet the
requestor would fill its request with all zeros for the prefix and the
requested /x it wanted.

Am I intuiting the intent correctly?
