** Abstract **
-odhcp6c is a minimal DHCPv6 and RA-client for use in embedded Linux systems.
+odhcp6c is a minimal DHCPv6 and RA-client for use in embedded Linux systems
+especially routers. It compiles to only about 30 KB (-Os -s).
** Features **
-1. Handling of non-temporary addresses
+1. IPv6 bootstrap from different environments with autodetection
+ a) RA only
+ b) RA + stateless DHCPv6
+ c) RA + stateful DHCPv6 (either IA_NA or IA_PD or both)
+
+2. Handling of non-temporary addresses (IA_NA)
a) handling of valid and preferred lifetimes
b) duplicate address detection
c) automatic fallback to stateless or PD-only mode
-2. Support for DHCPv6 extension
+3. Support for DHCPv6 extension
a) Reconfigure-Messages
- b) Prefix Delegation
+ b) Prefix Delegation (including handling of valid and preferred lifetimes)
c) Prefix Exclusion
d) DNS Configuration Options
e) NTP Options
g) Information-Refresh Options
h) SOL_MAX_RT default to 3600
-3. Stateless fallback-support
-
-4. State script support
-
-5. Support for requesting and parsing Router Advertisements
+4. Support for requesting and parsing Router Advertisements
a) parsing of prefixes, routes, MTU and RDNSS options
* bound A suitable server was found and addresses or prefixes acquired
* informed A stateless information request returned updated information
* updated Updated information was received from the DHCPv6 server
-* ra-updated Updated information was received from via Router Advertisement
+* ra-updated Updated information was received from via Router Advertisement
* rebound The DHCPv6 client switched to another server
* unbound The DHCPv6 client lost all DHCPv6 servers and will restart
* stopped The DHCPv6 client has been stopped
* SNTP_FQDN A space-separated list of SNTP server FQDNs
* SIP_IP A space-separated list of SIP servers
* SIP_DOMAIN A space-separated list of SIP domains
