Re: DHCP failures (was RE: Do you want to have more meetings outside US ?)

[Ralph Droms <rdroms@cisco.com>]

Did the IETF network use the existing standards-based approach of  
stateless address autoconf for address assignment, and DHCPv6 (using  
the simple two-message exchange) for other configuration information?

There are routers available today that can provide the appropriate  
DHCPv6 service without a centralized DHCPv6 service, and Vista will  
use that DHCPv6 service to obtain, for example, addresses for DNS  
servers.
