IPv6 DHCP-PD Support

ToddMiller

There hasn't been a lot of talk in the roadmap discussion about the implementation of IPv6 DHCP-PD support on the XG platform.  Can we expect to see that at some point in the near future?

    Hi Todd,

    Good question. There is no specific immediate plans, as we already support DHCP v6.  

    Thanks

    There is a major difference between DHCPv6 used for addressing an interface and DHCP-PD.  DHCP-PD is the normal means for which PA (Provider Allocated) addressed network obtains its prefix.  As in a network that does not have its own IP space.  

    Comcast uses DHCP-PD for both its residential and business cable service to allocate IP space to the end network.

    As a gateway device, you need to support acting as a PD client as well as a PD server that can use the prefix obtained as a client  in sub-delegations.
