Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   This document defines a "P" flag in the Prefix Information Option
   (PIO) of IPv6 Router Advertisements (RAs).  The flag is used to
   indicate that the network prefers that clients use the draft-ietf-
   v6ops-dhcp-pd-per-device deployment model instead of using individual
   adresses in the on-link prefix assigned using SLAAC or DHCPv6 IA_NA.

Working Group Summary

   This is the 6MAN portion of an IPv6 deployment model describe by a
   now-IESG-approved V6OPS document.  The consensus seemed rougher
   than some other documents at first, but commenters largely indicated
   their concerns had been addressed by changes made as of IETF 120.

Document Quality

   There is at least one implementation in progress.

Personnel

   The Document Shepherd for this document is Bob Hinden. The Responsible
   Area Director is Erik Kline.

IANA Note

  There is one specific request of IANA: allocated a flag from the
  set of IPv6 ND PIO flags.
