RE: new draft on IPv6 CPE router available for review

["Hemant Singh (shemant)" <shemant@cisco.com>]

If the Service Provider has doled out an IA_PD option, then the CPE
Router always has the option to use a set of IPv6 address(es) from the
IA_PD to configure on the LAN interface(s) of the CPE Router.

When the CPE router has only a link-local address on the WAN port, if
the CPE has a LAN bridge, I hope there is an option to have the
global-scope address set on the LAN bridge (from IA_PD via DHCPv6) as an
alternative to loopback solution.

Do you agree ?
