Re: IPv6 RA vs DHCPv6 - The chosen one?

We thus have draft-droms-dhc-dhcpv6-default-router-00 that extends DHCPv6 to do what RA does. And now, we have draft-bcd-6man-ntp-server-ra-opt-00.txt that extends RA to advertise the NTP information that is currently done via DHCPv6.

My question is, that which then is the more preferred option for the operators?

In many environments RA is a catastrophic disaster. Some operators need to be able to do everything with RA turned off on routers, disabled on hosts and filtered on switches. - Kevin
