For a standalone CPE Rtr, if one reads the draft, one will see that if the CPE Rtr WAN interface sees an RA with M and O bits set when no PPP link has been established prior to seeing this RA, it's a cable deployment.
It's hard to figure out where in the draft the deployment type is actually specified. Regardless, the above may not be a good assumption. Our DSL deployment here for example currently uses SLAAC and RAs. PD is currently done manually. Eventually we want to use DHCPv6 for PD to the CPE router. We don't use PPP at all for either IPv4 or IPv6 on DSL.
If an RA is seen after PPP negotiation, it's a DSL deployment.
So I wonder, what does the deployment 'type' have anything to do with the CPE Router behavior?
