The draft does help you, it is a BCP and does not specify a standard. It outlines some BCPs that are usable today. I believe I tested and verified that what I outlined works with the ISC DHCPv6 server. It also works with other DHCPv6 servers as well.

That doesn't really help us if we want to deploy before that draft becomes a standard.
Are there any DHCPv6 servers currently that actually function in a fashion that is suitable for service providers?

I am wondering how people out there are using DHCPv6 to handle assigning prefixes to end users.
We have a requirement for it to be a redundant server that is centrally located. DHCPv6 will be relayed from each customer access segment.
We have been looking at using ISC dhcpd, as that is what we use for v4. However, it currently does not support any redundancy. It also does not do very much useful logging for DHCPv6 requests. Certainly not enough to keep track of users and devices.
So, my questions are:
How are you doing DHCPv6 with Prefix Delegation?
What software are you using?
When DHCPv6 with Prefix Delegation seems to be about the only way to deploy IPv6 to end users in a generic device-agnostic fashion, I am wondering why it is so difficult to find a working solution.
thanks, -Randy
