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?
"Yes." We want both. We'll try both. And in a couple years when the percentage Internet use of IPv6 is out of the single digits, we'll let you know what worked in which situations. We probably don't need one configuration protocol to rule them all. IPv4 has PAP/CHAP over PPP and DHCP over Ethernet plus a number of more minor ones like bootp (DHCP's semi-compatible predecessor) and rarp. We really don't suffer for the choice.
