If it's because somebody could start up a rogue router and announce RAs, I think a rogue DHCPv6 server is (or will be) just as much a threat, if not more of one - I think it's more likely server OSes will include DHCPv6 servers than RA "servers".

Disagree - rogue offers affect people without a lease, so the impact of an attack is not immediate. Filtering DHCP on v4 is well understood, an update to current operational practice rather than a new system. On 18 Oct 2009, at 09:29, Nathan Ward wrote:

RA is needed to tell a host to use DHCPv6

This is not ideal. Andy
